Others see it as a stylized form of Arabic Qamar/Kamar “moon,” widely used from North Africa to South Asia. It also echoes the Semitic root K‑M‑R: Aramaic kūmrā “priest,” preserved in later Hebrew komer/kemarim, a historical rather than onomastic link.

Depending on the lineage claimed, meanings offered range from “prince; youth” to “moon,” with some families embracing a devotional nuance from the Aramaic sense.
