Origin
Meaning and history of Omarrion
The name Omarrion is a modern variation of the Arabic name Omar. The name Omar has its origins in the Arabic language and dates back to the 7th century CE, when it was first recorded as the name of the second Caliph of the Islamic faith, Omar ibn al-Khattab.
Omar is derived from the Arabic root word 'amr,' which means 'life' or 'prosperity.' The name is believed to have been chosen for the Caliph due to his role in leading the Muslim community and ensuring its growth and prosperity during his rule from 634 to 644 CE.
The name Omar has been a popular name among Muslims throughout history, with several notable individuals bearing the name. One of the earliest recorded examples is Omar Khayyam, a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived from 1048 to 1131 CE and is best known for his work, the Rubaiyat.
Another famous bearer of the name was Omar ibn Said, an Islamic scholar and autobiographer who was born in present-day Senegal in the late 18th century and brought to America as a slave. His autobiography, written in Arabic, is one of the earliest known narratives of slavery in the United States.
In more recent history, Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor who starred in several iconic films, including Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. He was born Michel Dimitri Chalhoub in 1932 and passed away in 2015.
The name Omarrion is a modern variation that likely combines the traditional name Omar with the suffix '-rion,' which may be derived from various sources, such as the French '-rion' or the Latin '-rio.' This variation adds a unique twist to the classic name while retaining its historical roots and cultural significance.
While Omarrion is a relatively new name, it carries the weight of a rich historical legacy and cultural significance, particularly within the Islamic and Arab traditions. Its roots in the name Omar connect it to a prominent figure in Islamic history and a name that has been carried by scholars, poets, and influential individuals throughout the centuries.

FAQ
Omarrion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Omarrion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 61 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Omarrion 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 5,618,924 US residents.
Is Omarrion a common name?
We classify Omarrion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 57.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 62 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Omarrion most popular?
The single biggest year for Omarrion was 2003, when 17 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Omarrion is about 22 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 Omarrion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Omarrion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Omarrion 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 Omarrion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Omarrion 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 Omarrion 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.
