What does the name Ibro mean?

The masculine first name Ibro originates from Bosnian and is a short form of Ibrahim (ابراهیم), which is a form of the name Abraham (אַבְרָהָם). The name is originally associated with 'the exalted father'. Folk etymologically, it can also be interpreted as 'the father of the multitude' or 'the father of nations'. The roots of the name lie in two ancient Hebrew elements: the first component áv (אָב) means 'the father', while the second element rwm (רום) stands for 'to be high, to be exalted'. Colloquially, this has been interpreted as hamon (הָמוֹן) for 'many, the multitude, the variety' (see Genesis 17:5).
