Our story of Omarion
Our story of Omarion is a story of a real name given an American ending. Umar was the second caliph, and the Arabic behind his name relates to long life and flourishing. American naming took Omar and attached the -ion ending that was busy through the 1990s — Omarion, Demarion, Jamarion, Damarion. Omarion appears in the registers in that decade and was carried by a singer. The front is old; the compound is thirty years old.

flourishing, long-lived
The Omar front is from the Arabic Umar, from a root relating to life and prospering. The -ion ending is a modern American suffix. The Arabic element is documented; the compound is a coinage of the 1990s. Only the front has an origin.
