Our story of Javari
Our story of Javari is a story of a stock of syllables. American families from the late twentieth century built given names from fronts — Ja-, De-, Ke- — and endings — -vari, -mari, -von — producing names in no borrowed tradition. Javari, Javar, Jamari and Devari come out of the same set. A river on the Brazil-Peru border shares the spelling by coincidence. Javari appears in the registers from the 1990s.
