Idris

Idris has deep roots, possibly stemming from the Welsh 'iud,' meaning 'lord,' a title of respect and leadership. Alternatively, it is linked to the Arabic Idris, often interpreted as 'interpreter' or 'to study,' and is recognized as the Arabic name for the biblical prophet Enoch, who was taken directly to heaven. This name has journeyed from ancient Celtic lands through the Near East, carried by figures of wisdom and authority.

When you say 'Idris' aloud, it has a resonance, a grounding quality that feels both strong and wise. You might feel a sense of calm understanding settle over you as you consider it for your son. This name suggests a child who will observe the world with keen intelligence, perhaps a natural protector, someone who carries an inner strength and a deep well of knowledge.
