Origin
Meaning and history of Omarien
The name Omarien is a relatively modern invention that appears to be a combination of the names Omar and Rien. It does not have a clear linguistic or cultural origin, but rather seems to be a creative coinage intended to convey a sense of uniqueness and individuality.
The name Omar has roots in Arabic, where it is derived from the word 'aamir', meaning 'flourishing' or 'prosperous'. It has been a popular name among Muslims for centuries, with several notable historical figures bearing this name. One of the most famous was Omar ibn Al-Khattab, a close companion of the Prophet Muhammad and the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate in the 7th century.
The name Rien, on the other hand, is a Dutch word meaning 'nothing'. It is not commonly used as a given name, but its inclusion in Omarien may have been an attempt to add a touch of intrigue or mystery to the name.
There are no recorded examples of the name Omarien being used throughout history, as it appears to be a relatively modern creation. However, here are five notable individuals who have borne the names Omar or Rien:
1. Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet, best known for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations and for his rubaiyat, a collection of quatrains.
2. Omar Sharif (1932-2015) was an Egyptian actor who achieved international fame for his roles in films such as "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago".
3. Rien van Rijthoven (1909-1977) was a Dutch tennis player who won the Wimbledon Championships in 1924.
4. Rien Poortvliet (1932-1995) was a Dutch artist and writer, best known for his illustrated book "Gnomes".
5. Omar Vizquel (born 1967) is a former professional baseball player who spent the majority of his career as a shortstop for the Cleveland Indians.
In summary, while Omarien does not have a clear historical or cultural origin, it appears to be a creative combination of names intended to convey a sense of uniqueness and individuality.

FAQ
Omarien: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Omarien?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 23 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Omarien going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 14,902,363 US residents.
Is Omarien a common name?
We classify Omarien as "Very Rare". It ranks above 42.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 23 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Omarien most popular?
The single biggest year for Omarien was 2002, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Omarien is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Omarien in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Omarien a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Omarien in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Omarien still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Omarien in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Omarien can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
