About Zamari
With its zippy Z initial and its similarity to the popular Amari, Kamari, and Zamir, this modern invention has more than doubled in popularity in the last decade. Given to 111 boys and to 40 girls in 2024, it is particularly popular among the the African American community.
Zamari has a number of possible Arabic origins, including: a twist of Amari, itself a twist on Ammar, meaning "one who builds"; a spin of Jamar or Jamari, from Jamal, meaning "beauty"; an alternative for Zamir meaning "mind and heart", or from Samar, meaning "evening conversation". Other possibilities include the musical Hebrew name Zamar or that it is simply a modern creation.
Pronounced zuh-MAR-ee.
As of October 2026, Zamari ranked #1457 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1417 in 2021.
