What Does the Name Kamare Mean?

Kamare is a rare given name, and no meaning for it is firmly documented. The explanation most often offered treats it as a spelling of Kamari or Kamaria, names built on the Arabic word qamar, "moon," the source also of Swahili kamaria, "moonlight." That link rests on shared sound and spelling, not on a demonstrated origin for Kamare itself. A separate West African name, Kamara, is common among the Mende and Temne of Sierra Leone, but its resemblance to Kamare does not show that the two share a root.

Kamare Name History & Origins

Little documented history attaches to Kamare on its own. The wider Kamar- group is old and widely spread: Arabic qamar ("moon") underlies the names Qamar, Kamar, and Kamaria, and Swahili, which borrowed heavily from Arabic, has kamaria, "moonlight." Kamaria is a familiar girl's name in East Africa, particularly in Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar. In West Africa, Kamara is a common surname and given name with a separate and disputed etymology. Kamare's own record is thin, and it cannot be traced to any one of these names with confidence.
