Amari is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Amari cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #198 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022.

With five letters, the name Amari is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long.

That means that if 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
