History & Origin

Denari is a recent American coinage. The sound points two ways at once — toward the Latin denarius, a Roman coin, and toward the modern -ari names such as Amari and Zari. Neither route is recorded for the name, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'duh-NAR-ee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, modern, and warm.

Did you know? Denari is a word as well as a name: the denarius was a Roman silver coin, and denari survives in Italian for money. Whether American families had that in mind or simply liked the sound is not documented, and we would rather say so than invent a story.
