Meaning & Origin

command, order

Amri is a girl's and boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a feminine form connected to the Hebrew name Omri, from the Hebrew Omri, possibly meaning 'my sheaf' or 'servant of God' — in the Hebrew Bible, Omri was a king of Israel who founded the Omride dynasty.

With over 448 recorded births, Amri is used in Muslim communities as a feminine given name, where its Arabic meaning connects to the concept of command and divine authority. In the Hebrew context, Omri was a significant if morally complex king — he built the city of Samaria as Israel's new capital. As a feminine given name Amri, it carries a compact, strong sound that works gracefully in multiple cultural and linguistic contexts.

EtymologyShow more

Amri first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1990. First appearing in the 1990s, Amri emerged during a period of rapid naming innovation in America, when parents increasingly created new names or adopted them from global cultures.

Its Hebrew classification suggests a path from hebrew linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
