What does the name Jamir mean?
Jamir is a modern American boys' name. Wiktionary records it as a given name but gives no origin, and we found no dictionary that documents one. It looks like a blend of a Ja- beginning with the ending of names like Amir, which Wiktionary records separately as an Arabic name. No source we checked links the two, so we do not give Jamir a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. No documented etymology; Arabic links are unconfirmed guesses.
Related names: Jamar, Jamari, Amir.
