Meaning & origin
Omir is a rare and modern American name, first appearing on the U.S. Social Security list in 2002. Its popularity has been rising steadily since 2005, with a peak in 2021. In 2025, it ranked 4,707th, with only about one in 81,337 boys receiving the name. The name likely draws from established Arabic and Hebrew names like Amir, Omar, or Omri, giving it a multicultural appeal. Its rising trajectory, albeit from a small base, reflects a growing interest in short, distinctive names with strong consonant sounds. Omir has not yet achieved widespread recognition in any U.S. state, remaining a niche choice for parents seeking a unique yet familiar-sounding name.
Omir is a name of uncertain etymology. It may be a variant of Amir, meaning 'prince' or 'commander' in Arabic, or a shortened form of Omar, meaning 'flourishing' or 'long-lived' in Arabic. Some sources also connect it to the Hebrew name Omri, meaning 'my sheaf' or 'servant of God'. The name has seen modern use in the United States, first recorded in 2002.
