What is the meaning of the name Gamar ?

The baby name Gamar is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GAH-mar.

Gamar is Arabic in Origin.

Gamar is a Latin-letter rendering of Arabic قمر, vocalized qamar, the ordinary Classical Arabic noun for the moon. The root language is Arabic within the Semitic family; the earliest recoverable name form is the lexical noun qamar rather than a compound or diminutive. Its consonantal base q-m-r names the lunar body, and the spelling Gamar reflects transliteration practices in which Arabic qāf /q/ is heard or written as g, especially in dialect-influenced contexts.

As a personal name, Qamar/Gamar has circulated in Muslim naming across Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Turkic-influenced settings, usually feminine in many modern records but not inherently gendered in Arabic grammar. Azerbaijani Qəmər is a notable regional form borne by ballerina Qamar Almaszadeh. Variants include Qamar, Qəmər and Kamer; Gamar remains uncommon in English-language registers and is more often encountered where local romanization or dialect pronunciation favors g.
