Ignite the fire in your little one’s spirit, starting with the name Eedris. This masculine name has Nigerian links, thanks to the iconic Nigerian rapper and singer Eedris Abdulkareem. It serves as a respelling of Idris, which has both Arabic and Welsh roots to encourage your bundle of joy. In Arabic, Idris translates to “study,” “instruct,” or “interpreter,” instilling a bookish, academic vibe into the name. In Welsh, Idris inherits the meaning of “ardent lord” or “enthusiastic lord,” perfect for encouraging baby’s inner leader one day. If you can imagine them leading the next charge or teaching their peers about the next big movement, Eedris can be a lovely choice.
