Amara

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Amara who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 2683rd most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

Amara is a name of the 2nd largest tribe in Ethiopia. They speak a language called Amharic (Amaregna, አማርኛ), it is the only African language with its own script. Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia and it is spoken by more than 86.5 million people.

My name is Amara, I am from Indian/Pakistan origin. I come from a Muslim family but have personally seen it used by Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists in India. When I was younger it was very uncommon but I have come across a few in my life now (I am 25). I have had friends who have gone to India and had found my name on merchandise such as keyrings and pens. There are lots of different meanings for my name, most Indians and my parents pronounce it at um-er-a which I also like.

I have met several West African men with this name. Therefore, it is a unisex name.
