Irum is a name of Persian and Urdu origin, meaning “paradise,” “heavenly,” or “a garden in heaven.” It is the name of the legendary, opulent garden of Irum referenced in the Quran and Persian poetry, often symbolising beauty and bliss. In its Persian root, it is closely tied to the concept of divine, untouched paradise. There are no widely known historical or celebrity bearers of the name Irum, and it has no direct place-name connections. However, the name enjoys quiet popularity in South Asian and Muslim communities, including within Scotland, where it represents a serene, spiritual choice that evokes nature and tranquillity without being overly common. A notable variant is Irem, which is used in Turkish and Arabic contexts.
