Origin
Meaning and history of Omauri
The name Omauri is a relatively modern given name with its origins traced back to the Arabic language. It is a combination of two words, "Omar" and "Uri," which together mean "life giver" or "one who gives life."
The name Omar has a rich history and can be found in various ancient texts and religious scriptures. It is believed to be derived from the Arabic root word "ʿamr," which means "life" or "to live." The name has been popular among Arabic-speaking communities for centuries and has been borne by several notable figures throughout history.
One of the most famous historical figures with the name Omar is Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, who ruled from 634 to 644 CE. He is revered for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and his role in the expansion of Islam.
Another notable individual with a similar name is Umar Khayyam, a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived in the 11th century. He is best known for his contribution to the fields of mathematics and astronomy, as well as his famous literary work, the Rubaiyat.
The name Uri, on the other hand, has its roots in Hebrew and is believed to be derived from the word "or," meaning "light." It has been a popular name among Jewish communities and has been borne by several influential figures throughout history.
One such figure is Uri Geller, an Israeli-British illusionist and self-proclaimed psychic who gained international fame in the 1970s for his alleged ability to bend spoons with his mind.
Another notable individual with the name Uri is Uri Avnery, an Israeli writer, journalist, and peace activist who advocated for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was born in 1923 and passed away in 2018.
While the combination of Omar and Uri to form the name Omauri is relatively modern, it carries a rich linguistic and cultural heritage, blending elements from both Arabic and Hebrew traditions. Its meaning, "life giver," resonates with the universal desire for new beginnings and the continuation of life.

FAQ
Omauri: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Omauri?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 127 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Omauri 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 2,698,853 US residents.
Is Omauri a common name?
We classify Omauri as "Very Rare". It ranks above 68% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 128 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Omauri most popular?
The single biggest year for Omauri was 2012, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Omauri is about 13 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 Omauri in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Omauri a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Omauri 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 Omauri still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Omauri 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 Omauri 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.
