Etymology

From the Arabic root ΨΉ-Ω…-Ψ± (ΚΏ-m-r, 'to live, flourish'), a diminutive form. Omaira means 'little life' - related to Umair.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
