Baqir is an attractive, yet uncommon, boys' name of Arabic origin. It's composed of two elements: 'baq', meaning 'to exist', and 'kir', which signifies 'power'. The name Baqir thus translates to 'existing in power' or 'enduring through strength'. This moniker is particularly popular among Muslim families due to its Islamic roots, being associated with the prophet Muhammad's cousin and companion, Ali ibn Abi Talib. A notable bearer of this name is Baqir al-Najjar, an Iraqi Shi'a cleric and leader. However, despite its rich history and meaningful translation, Baqir remains a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet significant name for their son.
The name Baqir was given to six babies born in the year 2012.
