2A) Imran (AS) (Joachim) as opposed to Imran (Amram) the Levite married Hannah (Anne) both from the family of Amram. Joachim and Anne are the parents of Mary (AS).

So Imran is Arabic name of both the father and the ancestor of Mary (AS).

By the way Zachariah (AS) who took care of Mary (AS) was married to Alishba (Elizabeth) who was the sister of Anne, making Yahya (AS) and Isa (AS) second cousins, Yahya (AS) being a very junior first cousin of Maryam (AS).

A point to note that I am not clear on is whether Al-e-Imran refers to Amram the ancestor of Mary (AS) as opposed to her father.
