Makhari

Makhari Origin and Meaning

The name Makhari is a boy's name.

Makhari appears to be a contemporary name with multiple possible etymological roots. It may relate to the Swahili word 'mahari' (meaning 'dowry' or 'bride price') or could connect to Arabic 'makhari' (outlets or passages). Alternatively, it might be a creative modern formation using the popular prefix 'Ma-' combined with elements from names like Zakhari or Akhari. The name shows increasing usage in the United States since the early 2000s, particularly as a male name, though it remains relatively uncommon. Without definitive etymology, Makhari exemplifies the trend of phonetically pleasing modern names created by combining familiar name elements with distinctive sounds.
