Omar (name)

Omar is the most common Arabic rendition of a series of names, predominantly masculine given names, originating in the Arabic language. The name may have several different spellings in English, with variations based on the original language that it is drawn from, regional/cultural adaptations, and personal choice.

Origins

Semitic languages

As an Arabic name, Omar/Umar is widespread among Arabs and Muslims. In this context, it is chiefly a reference to Umar ibn al-Khattab, who was one of Muhammad's companions and the second Rashidun caliph, as well as the driving force behind the success of some of the early Muslim conquests. The Turkish form of the name is Ömer, while the Bosnian form of the name is Omer.
As a Hebrew name, the omer was an Israelite unit of measurement for grains and other dry commodities, giving way to Jewish rituals like Sefirat HaOmer and the omer offering.

Germanic languages

In the Germanic languages, the name Ómar is popular as an Icelandic name and also as a Nordic name, albeit to a much lesser extent with the latter. In this context, the name can be a variant of Ottomar or Othmar, which are derived from a Germanic name consisting of elements *aud and *mari.
