Meaning & origin

Omarr is a rare spelling variant of the classic Arabic name Omar. According to U.S. Social Security data, the name first appeared in 1970 and has never ranked among the top 1000 names. Its peak year was 1977, but even then it was given to fewer than 5 babies per year, making it an extremely uncommon choice. The name's trajectory has been stable over the decades, with slight fluctuations but no significant rise or decline. Because of its rarity, no states recorded enough births for top-state data, and the name's 1-in-N statistic is not available. Omarr's appeal likely lies in its connection to the well-known name Omar, combined with a distinctive double-r spelling. Parents choosing Omarr today are selecting a name that is both recognizable and unique.

Omarr is a spelling variant of Omar, which derives from the Arabic root 'amr (عمر) meaning 'life' or 'long-lived'. The name Omar was borne by Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, lending it historical and religious significance across the Muslim world. The doubled 'r' in Omarr is a modern orthographic variation, possibly influenced by other names or personal preference, and remains relatively uncommon.
