What are meanings of the following names: Simran, Jibraan

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

We ate unable to locate a direct entry for these in our dictionaries. However, according to the principles of lexicology, a suffix of Alif and Noon to any word usually signifies the superlative. Thus,
1. Samraan or Simraan – could possibly mean one possessing a good wheat coloured complexion or one with a radiant face (akin to the moon in radiance). The root word ‘Samr’ possesses other connotations as well.
Jabraan or Jibraan – from the root word ‘Jabr’ – means honourable, brave, strong.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
