Two Syllable Boy Names

The more traditional transliteration, Zamir, is currently the most popular option and features in the US Top 1000 - the Zahmir spelling is given to under 100 boys each year, but has been climbing in usage. This is a multicultural choice with roots in Arabic, Albanian, and as a non-biblical Hebrew name. Parents are picking up on all spellings of this name with Zamir, Zahmir, and Zymir given to a little over 600 boys last year in the U.S., potentially making these names feel more popular than you would expect.

It's pronunciation is identical to that of Lucian, but this spelling makes it appear to rhyme with "cushion," so we suggest sticking with the original.
