Shakur is an Arabic name for boys that means “very appreciative”, “deeply grateful”, one who appreciates the goodness and kindness of others. Shakur is the hyperbolic form of Shakir. Shakur is one of the names of God in Islam, but since its meaning can also apply to humans, it can be used as a baby name (similar to Ali which is also a name of God). The word Shakur is a direct Quranic name that is mentioned ten times in the Quran.
