What is the meaning of the name Qamar ?

The baby name Qamar is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /qamar/ — respelling: "QAH-mar" (Q represents the voiceless uvular stop of Arabic ق).

Qamar is Arabic in Origin.

Qamar (Arabic: قمر) is the Arabic word for "moon," long a symbol of beauty, serenity, and guidance. Used across Arabic-, Persian-, and Urdu-speaking communities, it is unisex but more common for boys. The term appears in the Qur'an, including the title of Surah al-Qamar, and figures widely in classical and Sufi poetry as an image of radiant loveliness.

As a given name it stands alone or joins compounds such as Qamar-ud-Din/Qamaruddin ("moon of the faith") and Qamar al-Zaman ("moon of the age"), a form popularized in Persianate courts and the Arabian Nights. Transliterations vary by region and script - Qamar, Kamar, Qamer - and Malay usage yields Kamaruddin and Kamarulzaman. Related lunar choices in Arabic include Badr ("full moon") and Hilal ("crescent"). Clear in meaning yet cosmopolitan in reach, Qamar offers timeless celestial charm.
