Origin, Meaning, And History of Amari
Amari has diverse origins but is predominantly of Hebrew origin, derived from the words ‘Amariah’ and ‘Amaris,’ meaning ‘promised by God.’ It also has an African connection, especially to the Yoruba people of the Western-African culture, where it means ‘strength’ or ‘courage.’ Amari is also found in Arabic and Swahili languages with variations in meanings. While in Arabic, Amari means ‘moon’; in Swahili, it means ‘gracious,’ and in Greek, Amari refers to ‘immortal’ or ‘eternally lovely.’ Amari is also used as a Japanese surname which means ‘surplus’ or ‘so much.’ Another theory is that the name is derived from ‘ammar’ in Arabic, which means ‘long-lived’ or ‘to live long.’
Although Aamri has no direct Biblical connection, its related name Amariah has Biblical roots. Amariah has been frequently used in the name of priests in the history of Ancient Israel and Judah, which began in the Later Bronze Age and early Iron Age. It bears several nicknames like Mar, Mari, Ari, Ama, and Amma.
The different variations of the name include Amare in African-American, Umar in Indonesian, Omari in Swahili, Ömer in Turkish, and Omar in Italian, Kazakh, and Spanish.
