Lamari is a modern coinage joining a La- prefix to a -mari ending, echoing Amari (variously 'strength', Yoruba-linked, or 'eternal', Arabic) and Marin, 'of the sea' (routes layered, which we flag). It has no single fixed root; the smooth sound carries it (said 'lə-MAR-ee').

It registers thinly in records. Rare, strength-or-of-the-sea in echo, and smooth.
