Anhar

Meaning of Anhar

Anhar is a feminine name of Arabic origin, pronounced AHN-har (/ˈænhɑr/), that conveys both natural and radiant associations. Derived from the Arabic word for “river” and sometimes interpreted as “shining” in regional usage, it evokes a sense of flowing abundance and gentle luminosity. In the United States, Anhar has remained rare—registering between five and twenty-two occurrences annually and ranking consistently in the 930s–960s on the Social Security list—underscoring its appeal as a distinctive choice. Rooted in Middle Eastern linguistic tradition yet easily adapted to Anglo-American phonetics, Anhar offers parents a name that is both culturally rich and refreshingly uncommon. With such modest usage, parents can be confident their daughter will bear a name as meaningful in its heritage as it is elegant in its simplicity.
