Hagir
Hagir Origin and Meaning
Hagir is a feminine name with Arabic origins, a variant of Hajar (also spelled Hagar in biblical contexts). In Islamic tradition, Hajar was the wife of Ibrahim (Abraham) and mother of Ismail (Ishmael). The name is believed to derive from Arabic roots meaning 'the stranger' or 'one who migrates.' Hagir remains relatively uncommon globally but has particular significance in Muslim communities. The name carries deep religious and historical importance, symbolizing strength, faith and perseverance through difficulty, as Hajar's story involves her survival in the desert to protect her son. With its distinctive sound and rich cultural heritage, Hagir appeals to parents seeking a name with spiritual significance while honoring Arabic or Islamic traditions.
