Meaning and origin of Jibran
An old Arabic name, Jibran is normally linked to the root j-b-r. Those letters describe setting a fractured bone, repairing what is damaged or compensating someone, and jubrān itself means making good a loss. Readers around the world recognise the name from Kahlil Gibran, the Lebanese poet who wrote The Prophet. Pakistani parents, meanwhile, have embraced Jibran as a much-loved boys' name with its own identity, quite apart from the poet.
