Meaning & origin
Almir is an Arabic-derived name meaning 'prince' or 'commander,' sharing roots with the more common Amir. In the United States, it is a rare but steadily rising choice: first recorded in 1992, it reached its peak rank of 3,757 in 2025, with a 1-in-58,899 incidence among newborn boys. The name has shown consistent growth since 1994, reflecting broader interest in Arabic names. While no single state stands out as a stronghold, Almir's upward trajectory suggests a quiet but persistent appeal among families seeking a name with regal connotations and multicultural resonance.
Almir is derived from the Arabic 'al-amir' (الأمير), meaning 'the prince' or 'commander.' It is a variant of Amir, used across the Arabic-speaking world and among Muslim communities globally. The name entered broader use in Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries, possibly through immigration or as a short form of Almires.
