Name Root:
'-M-R > ʼAMīR
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Arabic “’-m-r > ʼamīr,” meaning “prince, ruler or commander.” Amīr is a title of high office, used throughout the Muslim world. Emirs are usually considered high-ranking Sheikhs, but in monarchic states, the term is also used for princes, with “emirate” analogous to a sovereign principality. In the beginning, the name simply meant commander or chief, but it was used as a title for governors or rulers, usually in smaller states, and in modern Arabic, it is equivalent to the English word “prince.”
