Jamarl
Jamarl Origin and Meaning
Jamarl is a masculine name that appears to have emerged in the United States during the latter part of the 20th century. It may be a variation or combination of elements from names like Jamal (Arabic origin meaning 'beauty' or 'handsome') and Lamar (of French origin meaning 'the sea' or 'from the sea'). The name first appeared in usage records in the 1970s-1980s. Jamarl has maintained modest but consistent usage since then, though it has never ranked among the most popular names. The name's construction, with strong consonant sounds and a clear rhythm, fits with naming trends that value distinctive sounds and unique variations. The combination of recognizable name elements to create a new, distinctive name is characteristic of creative naming practices that gained prominence in American naming patterns during the late 20th century.
