Omar is represented in Islamic traditions. The name means "flourishing, long lived". After the emergence and military success of Islam, which was partly due to the second caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (also spelled Omar, ), Umar or Omar became a common name in Muslim Arab and Muslim populations in general. The name is also used in Spanish-speaking countries. There was a biblical figure by the name of Omar.

The name can also be a variant of Ottomar or Othmar, a Germanic name consistin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
