The name Badr is of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'badiru' which means 'full moon'. It signifies prosperity and brightness, much like the full moon brings light to the darkest nights.
The name Badr has seen varying popularity over the years, with a notable spike in recent times. While it started off with fewer than 7 births per year from 1997 to 2006, there was a significant increase to 21 births in 2005. The popularity fluctuated somewhat thereafter, but has been consistently high since 2014, peaking at 24 births in that year.
