How it is used
ʿImrān is used as a personal name (English "Imran"); it belongs to the ع م ر word family, whose other members center on a long life span (ʿumr) and on a place becoming inhabited, built up, or kept in a flourishing state (ʿimāra, ʿumrān, ʿāmir). As a name it functions as a label rather than carrying that common-noun sense directly.
