How to Pronounce Homar
Pronounced oh-MAR /oˈmar/Medium
Meaning: Homar reads most plausibly as a Spanish-influenced respelling of Omar, the Arabic name from a root meaning 'flourishing', 'thriving' or 'long-lived'. The silent initial H suits Spanish spelling habits. It may separately echo Homer, the Greek Homeros, but the Omar route best fits its Hispanic pattern of use.Low

History & Origin
Homar is best understood as a respelling of Omar, the widely used Arabic name from a root meaning 'flourishing' or 'long-lived', with a silent initial H in the Spanish manner. Its American use clusters among Latino families, though the spelling also brushes against the Greek Homer.
It was never common, borne by only a couple dozen boys a year around a modest high near 1995. It reads as a Spanish-flavoured respelling of a familiar Arabic classic.
