KAH-mar
Commonly explained as “moon” in Arabic.
Qamar is a given name used in Arabic-speaking contexts and in communities influenced by Arabic naming traditions. It’s often used for more than one gender depending on region and family tradition. In meaning explanations, Qamar is commonly glossed as “moon,” reflecting a straightforward connection to the Arabic word for the moon. In Latin-script contexts you may also see Kamar; the difference is typically transliteration rather than a separate name. Pronunciation guidance KAH-mar keeps two syllables with a clear “kah” start. A practical tip is to expect both Q- and K- spellings in international settings and to confirm the preferred spelling for official records.
Etymology: An Arabic name linked to the Arabic word for the moon; Latin spellings can vary (e.g., Qamar/Kamar) depending on transliteration conventions.
