Shomari

Meaning of Shomari

Pronounced sho-MAH-ree (/ʃoʊˈmɑːri/), Shomari derives from the Swahili language of East Africa, connoting strength, resilience and purposeful determination, and is frequently associated with leadership and tenacity; its classification as a unisex given name further underscores its adaptability across gender identities and cultural contexts. In the United States, Shomari first entered the Social Security Administration’s annual top-1000 list in the early 1970s, reached its highest position at rank 630 in 1974 and, after modest fluctuations through subsequent decades, has recently stabilized at approximately seven annual occurrences (rank 917 in 2024). This sustained, if selective, presence reflects Shomari’s appeal to parents who seek a name that harmonizes global linguistic heritage with contemporary Anglo-American naming sensibilities.
