Jabaar is Arabic in Origin.

Jabaar is a modern English transliteration of the Arabic name Jabbar (al-Jabbar), from the root j-b-r "to compel, strengthen, restore." It carries the meanings "mighty," "powerful," or "the Compeller," and is one of the 99 Names of God in Islam. Because of this sacred association, the traditional theophoric form Abd al-Jabbar ("servant of the Compeller") has been widely used, while Jabbar/Jabar and the variant Jabaar appear as given names across Arabic-speaking regions and the wider Muslim world.

Notable bearers include the 10th-century theologian Qadi Abd al-Jabbar, and the name spread into South Asia and Africa through Islamic scholarship and trade; in the United States it gained visibility in the 20th century and among African-American communities. Variants and related forms include Jabbar, Jabar, Abd al-Jabbar, and the surnames al-Jabbar and Abdul-Jabbar. The same root also yields al-jabr, the word behind "algebra."
