Myar is in Origin.

Myar is a modern, cross‑cultural given name with several plausible roots. In Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, cognate forms such as Meyar, Mayar, and Miyar reflect the learned word miʿyār (Arabic معيار; Persian/Urdu معیار), meaning “standard,” “measure,” or “criterion,” which lends the aspirational senses of “excellence” and “ideal.” In Jewish and European contexts, Myar can also be a streamlined respelling of Myer/Meyer, ultimately from Hebrew Meir (“one who shines; illuminator”). In contemporary English usage, it sometimes reads as a creative extension of Mya/Maya.

As a given name, Myar is rare and largely 21st‑century in Anglophone records, yet its related forms are familiar across the Middle East and South Asia and among diaspora communities. It is typically treated as unisex. Variants and relatives include Mayar, Meyar, Miyar, Myer, Meyer, Meir, Mya, Myah, Maya, and Maia; a Persian cognate is Mahyar.
