Meaning of Idris

Idris is a direct Quranic name for boys and is the name of one of the prophets mentioned in the Quran.

    Why wouldn’t you want to call your child the name that you have given him? If you didn’t want to call him that, then you should’ve given him a different name that you actually want to call him. Or maybe you’re referring to a nick name? I think drisee would be cute
