Ammarah
Girl name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ammarah: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1997.
Ammarah is a graceful feminine name of Arabic origin, meaning "virtuous" or "pious," and is closely linked to the root *amr* ("to live long" or "prosper"), giving it a warm, aspirational feel. It is a popular spelling variant of Amara and is often chosen in Muslim communities for its positive spiritual connotations. Though not widely borne by historical figures in Western records, the name shares its roots with the ancient city of Amarah in Iraq, a place of rich cultural history. One further note: Ammarah occasionally appears as a place-name in Scotland in modern times, but its true magic lies in its lyrical sound and the gentle strength it lends to a newborn girl.
