Amaar
Meaning of Amaar
Amaar is a masculine name of Arabic origin, derived from the Semitic root ʿ-M-R and traditionally understood to mean “one who builds” or “long-lived.” It carries historical resonance through figures such as the early Islamic companion Ammar ibn Yasir, lending the name an understated sense of resilience and constructive purpose. Pronounced uh-MAHR in both Arabic and English, Amaar fits smoothly into Anglo-American contexts without losing its distinct cultural identity. In the United States, its annual occurrences have fluctuated modestly—from as few as six newborns in 2002 to a peak of 29 in 2012—and most recently stood at 12 in 2024, earning it a rank of 912. This steady, mid-tier performance—never quite breaching the top 100 yet reliably present—underscores its appeal to parents seeking a name that balances individuality, heritage, and enduring subtlety.
