Origin
Meaning and history of Omarii
The name Omarii has its origins in the Arabic language and culture, tracing its roots back to the Middle East region during the medieval period. It is a variant of the more common Arabic name Omar, which is derived from the Arabic word "aamar," meaning "to flourish" or "to prosper."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Omarii can be found in the Islamic historical texts from the 7th century CE. It was the name of Omarii ibn al-Aas, a prominent companion of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most influential figures in early Islamic history. Omarii ibn al-Aas played a significant role in the Muslim conquests and served as a governor of several regions, including Syria and Egypt.
Throughout the centuries, the name Omarii has been borne by several notable individuals across various fields. One such figure was Omarii Khayyam, a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived during the 11th and 12th centuries CE. He is best known for his contributions to the fields of algebra and literature, including his famous work, the Rubaiyat.
Another historical figure with the name Omarii was Omarii Shuaib, an Egyptian scholar and jurist who lived in the 13th century CE. He was a renowned expert in Islamic jurisprudence and served as the chief judge of Cairo during his lifetime.
In the realm of literature, Omarii ibn Abi Rabia was an influential Arab poet who lived in the 8th century CE. He was known for his mastery of the Arabic language and his contributions to the development of the ghazal, a poetic form that explores themes of love and longing.
Omarii Khayam, a Persian philosopher and scientist, also bore this name. He lived in the 11th and 12th centuries CE and made significant contributions to the fields of mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. His works, such as the Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra, had a profound impact on the development of these disciplines.
These are just a few examples of prominent individuals throughout history who carried the name Omarii. While the name has its roots in the Arabic language and Islamic culture, it has transcended geographical and cultural boundaries, with variations and adoptions across different regions and ethnicities.

FAQ
Omarii: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Omarii?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 122 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Omarii going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,809,462 US residents.
Is Omarii a common name?
We classify Omarii as "Very Rare". It ranks above 67.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 123 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Omarii most popular?
The single biggest year for Omarii was 2023, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Omarii is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Omarii in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Omarii a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Omarii in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Omarii still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Omarii in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Omarii can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
