Amr (name)
Amr ( ar, عمرو) is an Arabic male name. Etymology It is most commonly written as "Amr", but is also written as "Amro". The word is derived from the tri-literal Arabic root () meaning "to live a long time." When the Arabic letter wāw is added to the end of the Arabic name Umar, the name changes to "Amr". Although very close in writing in Arabic, they are two different names, though sometimes the one is transliterated as the other, so ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAs is sometimes transliterated as "Omar ibn al-Aas". In the same way, it is possible to find Omar ibn al-Khattab transliterated as "Amr ibn al-Khattab". The transcription of "Amr" as "Amro" or "Amru" is another way to differentiate it from the name "Omar" The most prominent person in Islam named ʿAmr was ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAs.
