Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

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.
