History & Origin

Zahmire is a modern American spelling that reads most naturally as Zamir, a Hebrew name meaning 'song' or 'nightingale'. A separate Arabic word, damir, means 'conscience; inner heart', and some families connect the sound to that. The Zah- spelling itself has no documented history, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'zuh-MEER').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, melodic, and restyled.

Did you know? Zamir, the name behind Zahmire, is Hebrew for 'song' — and also the word for the nightingale, the bird whose singing gives the name its lift.
