Nimr is an Arabic word that means "leopard" (an animal that looks like a tiger with spots). Nimr is a standard variant of the word Namir. Nimr is not a Quranic name but Muslims can use it since it has a good meaning. Nimr is pronounced [(NIM)ble + p(R)ay] and can also be written as NemrNimre in English. It is written as نِمْر in Arabic.

Nimra is an Arabic word that means "female leopard", it is the feminine version of Nimr, it is a variant of Namira. Same as Nimr, it is not a Quranic name but Muslims can use it as a name. It is pronounced [(NIM)ble] + [(RU)n] with emphasis on the first syllable. It can also be written as Nimrah, Nemrah, Nemra in English. It is written as نِمْرَة in Arabic

    My name is also Nimra Zulfiqar. It’s a beautiful name and I’m rather proud to have such a name which means Lioness/Leopard. Also it’s the name of mosque. So people please, saying that it’s a bane of hardships and all. Hardship and Good Luck/Fortune of one person is already predestined by Allah so names and other things whatsoever won’t change it!
