Our story of Jameer
Ours, offered as ours. Two Arabic words stand near this name and both are worth having. Amir is a commander — it gives English admiral, by way of amir al-bahr, commander of the sea, clipped in the Mediterranean and given a d in French. Jamil is beautiful, from a root about camels, since a fine camel was the standard of beauty in the poetry. American naming reached Jameer by its own road, and both neighbors are real.
Meaningnot established
Not established
No source is established for the compound. Arabic amir, a commander or prince, is documented and gives Amir and Ameer. Arabic jamil, beautiful, is a second neighbor. The Ja- prefix belongs to American naming and carries no meaning.
