I found this interesting Quora post from a linguist stating that Iqra actually derived from the root word "qra" meaning "to call out" or "invite to a gathering." However, the meaning of the word has come to mean "read" over time. Here is the link to the article/the linguists sources for more information. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-meaning-of-iqra

I rated this name as SMOOTH and SIMPLE because it has a Q FOLLOWED BY an R! AND SINCE Q and R are NEXT TO each other in the alphabet, it keeps THIS PARTICULAR name SMOOTH and SIMPLE! SINCE the ALPHABET is something which HELPS to keep things SMOOTH and SIMPLE!
