Meaning & Story
Of African origin, Amara means eternal, unfading, or grace in Igbo (Nigeria), while in Amharic (Ethiopia) it means pleasant and good — a name rooted in multiple African traditions of enduring beauty.
Amara is a name that carries its meaning in its sound — there is something genuinely lasting about the way it falls on the ear, warm and open. It's elegant without being fussy, strong without being hard, and it works beautifully across any breed or size. A dog named Amara tends to be the one who brings a particular quality of peace to every room she enters. A cat named Amara has decided that the house is hers and is graciously allowing everyone else to live there. It's simply a beautiful name.
