The regular use of Omar as a given name in North America undoubtedly is because of the fame of the Persian poet Omar Khayyam. His "Rubaiyat" has been widely read in English translation for hundreds of years. In modern times his first name is often written as Umar, as it is on this site, but during the 19th and early 20th centuries he was almost invariably referred to as "Omar" in the USA.
