Meaning and origin of Asrar
Asrar is the plural of the Arabic sirr, 'a secret', and points to hidden truths and the deeper mysteries of the spirit. Its root, s-r-r, is about keeping something concealed. The word gained wide fame in South Asia through Muhammad Iqbal's Persian poem Asrār-i Khudī, which means 'Secrets of the Self' and remains one of his best-known works. Thanks partly to that poem, Asrar became a boys' name there, with Israr as a related choice.
