What Does the Name Amarii Mean?
Amarii is a spelling variant of Amari. Amari is a unisex name with more than one proposed origin, so it does not have a single settled meaning. One tradition connects it to Arabic, where names from the root for life and long life are traditional; the related Arabic name Ammar means 'long-lived' or 'prosperous.' Another tradition connects it to Yoruba, where Amari is often glossed as 'strength' or 'builder.' A third proposal treats Amari as a short form of the Hebrew name Amariah, which means 'Yah has spoken' (often rendered 'God has spoken'); some sources give 'Yah has promised.' These are independent derivations, not stages of one etymology. The doubled final i in Amarii is a spelling variation and does not add a separate meaning.
