Meaning & origin

What does Qamar mean?

Qamar means “Moon”.

Qamar is the Arabic word for moon and is used as a personal name for boys and girls. Its celestial meaning is direct: the name refers to the moon itself, while moonlight and beauty are associations people may bring to it. Al-Qamar, meaning the moon, is also the title of the fifty-fourth chapter of the Quran.

Kamar is another Latin-letter spelling, although the q in Qamar helps distinguish the Arabic consonant being represented. The same word has traveled into other languages and naming traditions, giving it a wider life beyond Arabic-speaking families. Parents drawn to night-sky names may value its clear astronomical meaning alongside its established linguistic and religious background.
