Omarii
A boy's name of Arabic origin with 123 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Fewer than 123 Americans have ever been named Omarii. It first appeared in SSA records in 2005 and peaked modestly at 14 births in 2023 — rare enough to be distinctive, with just enough history to feel grounded.
In the most recent SSA release, Omarii ranks #9600 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Omarii is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Omar, from the Arabic ʿumar, meaning 'flourishing, long-lived.' The doubled -ii ending — a stylistic choice common in African American naming — adds a distinctive visual emphasis to one of the Arabic world's most celebrated historical names, worn by the Caliph Umar and countless leaders across Islamic history.
EtymologyShow more
Omarii first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2005. A twenty-first-century entry, Omarii belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Arabic classification suggests a path from arabic linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
