History & Origin

Amauri is used in Brazil and carries a sense of tireless energy and courage. It descends from older Germanic forms preserved in its variations, including Amalric and Amalaric, which fed into the Romance languages spoken in Brazil. The meaning of unceasing strength comes through that older lineage.

Brazilian volleyball player Amauri Ribeiro (1959-present), a 1992 Olympic gold medalist, carries the name. The flowing 'A-mau-ri' has a warm, distinctly Brazilian-Portuguese sound.
