Adnan
Adnan is a masculine name that is used in Bosnia. Does anyone know its meaning or origin?

Is it a typical Muslim name? Because we have a student from Saudi Arabia this year in ESL with this name.
It seems to be a general Arabic name, yes. I put Bosnia in my original post because I spotted it on the Bosnian Top 100 name list.
Meaning: Humble personality, eternal, pleasure, someone who lives in heaven, settler. Comments: Adnan (Arabic: عدنان ) is the traditional ancestor of the Adnani (Neo-Arabs) of northern Arabia, as opposed to the Qahtani of Southern Arabia who descend from Qahtan. Adnan is said to be a descendant of Ishmael through his son Kedar.
The meaning I can find for Adnan is "settler".
Thanks
