Omri is Hebrew in Origin.
Omri (Hebrew עמרי) is linked to the Semitic root amr; most scholars connect it with omer, meaning "sheaf," with the -i suffix "my," yielding "my sheaf" or "sheaf-gatherer." Others tie it to a verb "to accumulate/heap up," so its sense remains agricultural and collective.
Borne by a 9th-century BCE king of the northern kingdom of Israel, the name gives rise to the Omride dynasty; it appears on the Mesha Stele and in Assyrian records as Bit-Humri ("House of Omri"). It persisted sporadically in Jewish use and was revived with modern Hebrew, now common for boys in Israel. Variants and related forms include Omry (alternative transliteration), Amri (variant spelling), Ambri (Septuagint form), and the feminine Omrit. The meaning often evokes grain, harvest, and gathering, appealing for families seeking a concise, ancient name with grounded symbolism.
