History & Origin

Jamarria is an invented African-American name, joining the popular Ja- opening to a Maria or Marria ending. It sits with a family of Ja- coinages that pair a stylish prefix with a familiar name-sound. Behind the -marria lies Maria, the Latin Mary, so the name carries a faint echo of that classic while its overall sense rests in its coined parts.

Jamarria was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 2005, and it appeared only briefly. A girl named Jamarria then is about twenty today.

Did you know? The -marria element inside Jamarria echoes Maria, the Latin form of Mary, one of the most widespread girls' names in the world.
