In its earliest recorded forms, the surname was spelled as IBRAHIMI or IBRAYIMI, reflecting the variations in transliteration from Arabic to Albanian. These early spellings can be found in Ottoman tax registers and census records from the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in regions that are now part of Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia.
