Meaning & History
Itri is a masculine name of Berber origin, meaning "star" in the Tamazight language. The name is derived from Thamazight, a group of dialects spoken by the indigenous Berber people of North Africa. In the Berber cultural context, stars have long been symbols of guidance, light, and divinity, making the name Itri deeply evocative of celestial beauty and spiritual direction.
The feminine form of Itri is Titrit, which also carries the meaning "star" (feminine in gender). Both names reflect the importance of astronomy and celestial bodies in Berber traditions, where stars were used for navigation and agricultural calendars. The name Itri is relatively rare in the broader North African naming landscape but holds cultural significance among Berber-speaking communities.
