Ameer is a masculine name with Arabic roots, meaning 'prince' or 'ruler.' Originally derived from the Arabic term 'emir,' which means 'commander of an army,' the name has evolved to signify a leader or prince. It has been used as a title for rulers and their sons, and over time, it has become a popular given name for boys, spreading beyond the Arab world to other Muslim countries. The name has variants in different languages, including Urdu, Persian, Hebrew, and Pashto. Despite being relatively rare until 2010, Ameer has gained popularity in recent years, ranking among the top 1000 names in the US.
