Full Meaning of Aknaan

Aknaan is a direct Quranic name for boys that means “shelter”, “cover”, “place of retreat”. It is derived from the K-N-N root and the word Aknaan itself is mentioned in verse 16:81 of the Quran.

It is Allah Who made out of the things He created, some things to give you shade; of the hills He made some for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete His favours on you, that ye may bow to His Will (in Islam). (Quran 16:81)
