Demari
Meaning of Demari
Demari, pronounced dih-MAHR-ee, weaves Latin seascape imagery into modern American naming trends. Linguists trace the construction to the Spanish “de mar,” literally “of the sea,” echoing the classical Latin “mare,” while pop-culture observers note its kinship to Amari and Damari—names that channel themes of strength and vitality across African and Caribbean communities. First registered by the U.S. Social Security Administration in 1993 with only eight births, Demari has held a steady course inside the national top-900 ever since, cresting at 115 newborns in 2024. The name’s maritime etymology lends it fluid grace; its concise, three-syllable cadence fits comfortably beside contemporaries like Jamari or Zaid, yet its distinctive opening consonant sets it apart. Parents who choose Demari often cite its subtle cosmopolitan flair, its quiet nod to the sea’s endurance, and its unfussy spelling—qualities that grant the name both familiarity and individuality in a crowded field of modern choices.
