Quran or Koran

There are two famous opinions:

  1. The word قرآن Quran is derived from “قرأ”،”يقرأ”،”قراءة”،و”قرآنا” with the origin “القَرء” which means the merged or joint (or even collected). The Quran has been named so because its joint the Verses and Suwar with each other. 
  2. It is driven from `Qara` (to recite). Thus, it is called `the Quran` for it is a Book to be recited (73:4), or because the revelation began by `Read` (96:1). The second opinion (driven from the root ‘to recite’) seems more accurate.
  3. The word is derived from the Syriac word قريانا Quryana which means read (or study) the holy book.
