Amari

3 syllablesTrend: up

Yoruba 'strength/builder'; Swahili 'eternal'; Hebrew 'promise'

Amari is a genuinely global name, landing softly in several traditions at once. In Yoruba it can mean "strength" or "builder"; in Swahili and broader East African use it carries a sense of the eternal; in Hebrew, Amari relates to speech or promise. That multilingual resonance has made it beloved across Black American households in particular, where it has ranked steadily among the top unisex choices, currently sitting in the U.S. top 170s. Three fluid syllables, a central rolled or softened r, an open ending. Amari feels warm, musical, and quietly confident, a name made for naming out loud.
