Amer - Name Meaning and Popularity -

Meaning of Amer

Amer is a masculine name of Arabic origin, derived from the root Amir, which conveys “prince” or “commander” and by extension suggests prosperity and longevity. Its concise spelling has enabled its adoption beyond the Middle East—into South Asian and Western naming circles—where it carries associations of leadership, endurance and understated distinction. In British English it is typically pronounced AH-mur (/ɑmər/), while in American English it is rendered AY-mur (/eɪmər/). Though never among the very top entries on U.S. name charts, Amer has maintained a modest yet steady presence, appealing to parents who favor a name that balances cultural depth with modern simplicity.
