Jarmar

Jarmar appears to be a masculine given name that emerged in the latter part of the 20th century. It may be a variation of Jamar, which itself could be a modern creation or possibly derived from Arabic elements (though specific etymology is not well-documented). The name could also be related to Lamar or Damar with a substituted initial consonant. The 'Jar-' prefix appears in several contemporary names (Jared, Jarvis, Jarrell), while the '-mar' suffix is found in names like Lamar and Omar (the latter from Arabic, meaning 'flourishing' or 'long-lived'). Jarmar began appearing in usage records in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, representing contemporary naming trends that feature distinctive consonant-vowel patterns and creative adaptations of existing name elements.

Pronounced JAR-mar.

As of October 2026, Jarmar ranked #13072 in US births in 2012 SSA, peaked at #2299 in 1982.
