Meaning of Iqra
Iqra is a direct Quranic name for girls that means “read!” It was a command sent down by Allah to our Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, and according to some Islamic sources it is the first word of the Quran that was sent down through the angel Gabriel in the verses below:
1. Read! In the name of your Lord, who created:
2. created man from a clot [of blood].
3. Read! Your Lord is the most bountiful One
4. who taught by the pen,
5. taught man what he did not know. (Quran 96:1-5)

Google first choice brought me here.. So..
Iqrae is the name of a Girl? Maybe you meant Ikram? Never knew anyone with the name Iqrae. -Iqraae! yeah.. No! I only can picture some strict profesor back in the days who yell that or an elderly figure.
Do you imagine being called “Read”? I mean it could perfectly be out there, but Ive never heared of someone with that name and Im predominantly from a Muslim culture not arab but studied it since I was 5, now Im 30.
You see.. Im a passionate student of translation & interpretation, I love to inmerse myself in the theological teachings. Ive learned that it is not an easy job. Semitic languages are vey rich and complex. The holy Quran is meant for us to understand not just read and switch words from a language into an other, that is very misleading and dangerous, it is not that simple.
Anyway, Iqrae has many meanings and “read” isnt the only one, its lacks much more: it is in imperative which means its a command, Read! (Iqrae) can be interpreted as analyse, study, learn or understand. If you want to know more, seek interpretations! Read! and fulfil the first commandement that God passed on to us by his chosen last messenger, peace be upon him.
