please let me know if Akira is a arabic or islamic name, and the meaning of this name
Answer
Akira is an Arabic name for girls that means "dark night", "heavy rain". It is written as عَاكِرَة in Arabic, pronounced [(A)fter] + [(KI)tten] + [p(R)ay + r(U)n] with emphasis on the first syllable, and can also be written as Aakira, Akirah, Aakirah, Akera, Akerah, Aakera, Aakerah in English.
Akira is not a Quranic name but Muslims can use it since it doesn't have a bad meaning.
Akira is also a Japanese name for boys and girls that means "bright", "intelligent". This Japanese word can be used as a name by Muslims for both boys and girls, since it has a good meaning. Akira is pronounced [(A)fter + (K)ey] + [(KEY)] + [(RA)ndom] with no emphasis, the name is said quickly.
