What is the meaning of the name Bari ?

The baby name Bari is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BAH-ree (/ˈbɑːri/),BARRY-like (/ˈbæri/).

Bari is Arabic, English, Irish, Italian in Origin.

Bari is a multicultural given name with several roots. In Hebrew, bari means "healthy" and functions as a modern unisex name. In Arabic, al-Bari' is one of the 99 Names of God, "the Originator/Creator"; Bari appears both independently and in the theophoric Abd al-Bari. In English, Bari serves as a streamlined spelling of Barry, which derives either from Irish Baire/Bairre (a short form of Fionnbharr/Finbar, "fair-haired") or from Bearach, "spear, sharp." The Italian Adriatic port of Bari also lends the name a place-name association.

Usage spread in the mid-20th century in the US and UK, including occasional feminine use, while Jewish communities favor the Hebrew sense and Muslim usage often occurs in compound form. Variants and related forms include Barry, Barrie, Barri, Berry; Finbar/Finbarr, Fionnbharr, and Bearach; as well as Arabic Bari' (with hamza), al-Bari', and Abd al-Bari. Meanings span "healthy," "Originator/Creator," "fair-haired," and "spear-like."
