About Zamari
Zamari has a lot going for it — a fashionable -ari ending, distinctive Z initial, and gender-neutrality too. The name has nearly doubled in use in the last decade, with 120 boys and 40 girls receiving the name in 2023. Particularly popular among the African American community, it likely takes its inspiration from the similar Amari, Jamari, or Kamari.
Zamari therefore has a number of possible Arabic origins, including: a twist of Amari, itself a twist on Ammar, meaning "one who builds"; a spin on Jamal, meaning "beauty"; an alternative for Zamira meaning "mind and heart", or from Samara, 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 #4169 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3636 in 2023.
