If you’re looking for a name that is rising in popularity, and comes from a variety of cultural sources, Amara is a name you should consider. The name Amara is found in multiple languages and has different meanings in African, Indian, and European cultures.

In Italian, the word "amara" means “bitter.” In the Igbo language, which is spoken in Nigeria and other parts of Africa, the name means “grace.” And in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India, Amara means “deathless” or “immortal.”

  • Origin:The Italian word is derived from the Latin “amara” (“bitter”). The Igbo “amara” can be an adjective meaning “gracious” or a noun meaning “grace.” And The Sanskrit “amā́ra” comes from the prefix a- (“no/not”) and the root mā́ra (“death”).
  • Gender:Amara can be used for both boys and girls. It is more commonly used for girls in the U.S., but in Igbo culture, it is not uncommon for boys.
  • Pronunciation:ah-MAH-rah

Although baby names are often separated by gender, Verywell Family believes that sex need not play any role in your name selection process. It’s important to select the name that you feel best suits your new baby.

Though the name Amara has long been used in Asia and Africa, it has only been popular in the United States for about 20 years. It first appeared among the top 1,000 girl names in the U.S. in 2000, when it was ranked at No. 797. Since then, it has climbed significantly, breaking into the top 500 in 2015. The 2020 statistics ranked Amara at No. 142 for girls in America, suggesting it is still on the rise.

In the U.S., the name Amara is typically used as a girl name. Nevertheless, it can be used any way you see fit, as sex does not have to be a part of your name selection process.
