Aamir

Boy name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aamir: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 1991.

Aamir traces its roots to Arabic, where it means “prosperous” or “full of life,” and is a common variant of the more familiar Amir. One of the most famous bearers is Aamir Khan, the celebrated Indian actor, producer, and director known for socially conscious films like *Lagaan* and *Dangal*. While no major places are directly named after a bearer, the name shares its etymological root with “emir,” a title used in many regions, including the United Arab Emirates. Culturally, Aamir has become especially popular in South Asian Muslim communities and appears regularly in Scottish birth records as families from diverse backgrounds make the name their own.
