Yes, you can absolutely name a white person Omar. While the name has Arabic and Hebrew origins, it is used across various cultures and regions globally. It has gained popularity in Europe and the Americas, as well as Africa and the Middle East. There are instances of white individuals with the name Omar, as seen in the mention of actor Omar Sharif. Some discussions suggest it may be viewed as unusual or potentially lead to assumptions about cultural background, but it's not inherently racist to choose a name you like, regardless of its origin.
