Jomara
Meaning of Jomara
Jomara (pronounced joh-MAH-ruh, /dʒoʎmˈɑɹə/) is a feminine name born of a sophisticated fusion between the Hebrew-derived prefix Jo-, signifying “God will add,” and the Spanish Mara, which carries dual echoes of “sea” in Latin and “bitter” in Hebrew. This layered etymology imbues the name with both the expansive fluidity of maritime imagery and the introspective depth of transformative experience. U.S. Social Security records, documenting between five and eight newborns named Jomara per year from 1985 through 2008—with ranks generally between 700 and 1000—reveal its steady, if understated, presence among Latin American and Hispanic communities. From an academic onomastic perspective, Jomara exemplifies a contemporary naming practice that marries classical linguistic roots with regional cultural inflections, producing a designation that is at once texturally rich, phonologically balanced, and resonant with both heritage and modern sensibility.
