Fajar

Meaning of Fajar

The name Fajar is a beautiful and unique choice for a baby girl, with its roots deeply embedded in Indonesian culture. Pronounced as FAH-jar (/fɑˈdʒɑr/), Fajar means "dawn" or "daybreak," symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and the promise of a fresh start. It is often associated with the early morning light that heralds a new day. The name also has a variation, Fajr, which shares the same meaning and pronunciation. While not commonly found in the United States, with only a handful of occurrences recorded over recent years—five instances each in 2022, 2019, 2014, and 2001—Fajar remains an elegant and meaningful choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet profound for their daughter.
