Itri is a Tamazight (Amazigh) given name meaning 'star' in several Berber dialects. It appears in oral poetry, song traditions and modern Amazigh cultural revival contexts rather than formal classical Arabic anthologies; its usage is thus regional and classical within Amazigh communities. As a name it carries the natural-symbolic associations of a guiding light, often chosen by families valuing Amazigh linguistic heritage. Related names to consider in comparative onomastics include [[Najm]] (Arabic for 'star'), and [[Tarik]] (associated with the morning star in some poetic usages). Itri is not recorded as a Quranic name; its provenance is vernacular Tamazight vocabulary, attested in ethnographic records and contemporary Amazigh personal name use.
