Kabir is a boy's name of Arabic origin whose simple air reveals a hidden transcendence. Coming from the Arabic word kabīr, it can mean "great," "magnificent," "powerful," and "leader."

This name is also intertwined with the Bhakti movement due to the writings of the 5th-century Indian mystic poet and saint Kabir.
