“Jamar” is a boys’ given name that means “handsome” in African-American.
The name “Jamar” is relatively new – it only came into general usage during the ‘70s.
It's thought to be a blend of two other names, “Jamal” and “Lamar”, but this is just a theory!
Most first names develop meaning over time, and this is an on-going process that doesn't ever stop.
For example, if someone called Jamar does something notable in the future, the name might then become associated with that person’s achievements.
If
another person called Jamar did something equally important afterwards, the name would then become associated with what
both of these people did!
Unfortunately, with Jamar being such a modern name, it doesn’t have much of a history yet. Maybe you can change that!
