Aboubakr is an indirect Quranic name for boys that is formed from Abu (âfather ofâ, âlikeâ, âfull ofâ) and Bakr (ancient name of Arabian tribes, âyoung camelâ), both of which are Quranic words. Muslims like this name out of love for Aboubakr as-Siddiq, the closest companion of Prophet Muhammad ï·ș.
