Omaree

Meaning & origin

Omaree is a modern American name that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security Administration's baby name list in 1998, reflecting the late-20th-century trend of creating names with the popular '-ee' ending. Its peak year was 2004, after which its usage has been declining, starting a downward trajectory since 2005. Although it has never ranked among the top 1000 names, Omaree has a distinctive sound and a likely connection to the well-known Arabic name Omar. Given its relatively recent coinage and low frequency, Omaree remains a rare choice for parents seeking a name that feels both contemporary and grounded in a familiar root. The name does not appear in top states data, further underscoring its spread across the country without concentrated regional popularity.

Omaree appears to be a modern American coinage, likely an elaborate spelling of the name Omar, which derives from Arabic 'umr' meaning 'life' or 'long-lived'. It follows the fashionable suffix '-ee' seen in names like Jamari and Amaree. The name gained modest use in the United States beginning in the late 1990s.
