Jemauri is in Origin.

Jemauri is a modern American coinage, most common in African-American naming traditions, blending elements of Jamari and Mauri/Maurice. Jamari stems from Jamar, related to Arabic jamal ‘beauty, handsomeness,’ while Mauri traces to Latin Maurus via Maurice, historically meaning ‘Moorish; from Mauretania.’ The resulting name carries associations of beauty and heritage; some hear echoes of Amari, widely interpreted as ‘strength’ in Yoruba, which helped popularize the -ari/-auri sound.

Usage appears in U.S. records from the late 1990s onward, with modest growth alongside creative J-names. It is used mainly for boys but can be unisex. Variants and near-forms include Jemauri, Jamauri, Jemari, Jamari, Jomari, Jemario, and Jemarion; short forms include Jem, Jae, Mari, and Mauri. Pronunciations vary by family, commonly jeh-MAWR-ee or juh-MOR-ee.
