ArchivesRe: Origin of these male A names?
in reply to a message by RachelChristine
Amari:
1) African masculine name meaning 'strength' (from the Yoruba language in Nigeria)
2) Hebrew name meaning 'eternal'; i also found a site saying it was Indian with the same meaning (?!). both feminine.
3) Japanese feminine name meaning 'a little' or 'not a lot'
Amarion:
Saint-Amarian is what the French called St. Amarinus. Maybe this is related. I couldn't find a meaning of Amarinus.

Arman:
just a spelling variant, could be from France or Belgium, anywhere really.
Arnav:
Hindu name meaning 'ocean, sea' (masculine name)
Aryan:
it is a Hindu masculine name and it is related to the English word Aryan, because this English word is taken from the Sanskrit arya meaning 'noble'. This is thus also the meaning of the name Aryan.
It's all here: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Aryans
by the way, i think it's possible that it could also be a spelling variation on the Dutch name Arjan, due to influence of the French language, especially in Belgium, where both Dutch (Flemish) and French are spoken. There is for example also the name Arjean as a result of this, although i saw a site translating it as French for 'silvery' (probably thinking it was from the French word argent which means 'silver'). But i think this is unlikely, because the name is more used in Dutch speaking areas than in France herself.

AMARI means "eternal"?
I doubt your source for this is reliable. There is no verbal root amar meaning "eternal" or anything of the kind.
Spelt with an Aleph it means "speak", and there is the personal name Amarja / Amarya ("God has spoken i.e. created" or "promised by God"). (Short form: Imri)
Spelt with an Ayin it means "collect/make sheaves" or else "attack, treat brutally". The name of king Omri (same verbal root) is supposed to be of Arabic origin (and obscure meaning).
The Hebrew words for "eternal/eternity" are "olam", "netzakh", "ad".

yes, i didn't trust it either, especially because another site said it was Hindu and meaning 'eternal' and i don't believe in coincidences.
