Amir

Amir Origin and Meaning

The name Amir is a girl's name.

Amir as a feminine name represents an interesting cross-cultural adaptation, as it is traditionally a masculine name in Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew cultures where it means 'prince,' 'commander,' or 'treetop.' Its usage for girls is quite uncommon and represents a modern trend of gender-neutral naming. The feminine usage likely emerged in Western countries where parents appreciated its melodic sound and exotic feel without strict adherence to traditional gender associations. With just two syllables and ending in 'r,' Amir has a strong yet flowing quality that works across gender lines. When used for girls, Amir offers a distinctive alternative to popular feminine names while carrying connotations of leadership and strength.
