Kamari is in Origin.
Kamari is a modern unisex given name with several intersecting sources. Most often it’s linked to Arabic Qamar/Kamar “moon,” with the adjectival qamarī “lunar” explaining the -i ending in some spellings. In other cases it’s a contemporary blend of the element Amari with the Ka- prefix, and for girls it can function as a streamlined cousin of Sanskrit Kumari “maiden, princess.”
In the United States the name rose from the late 1990s, especially within African-American naming traditions, and remains used for both boys and girls. Variants and related forms include Kamar, Qamar, Kemari, Kamarie, Kamaree, and the feminine Kamaria and Kamariyah; short forms include Kam and Mari. Note that Swahili kamari is an unrelated word meaning “gambling,” so the commonly accepted meaning for the given name is “moon/lunar,” with “maiden/princess” a secondary reading.
