Ameer is a first name for boys.
The name Ameer isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all boys names, Ameer ranks 798. Recently, out of every 10,000 newborn boys, approximately 1 were named Ameer.

Ameer is an alternate spelling of Amir, an Arabic name meaning ‘commander’ or ‘prince’. While Amir is becoming increasingly popular in the USA and has been approaching the top 100 since the 2010s, Ameer is also becoming better known, even if this spelling is much less common.
Did you know... that this name has the same origin as 'emir', a title for monarchs and holder of high military or political ranks?
Ameer is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Ameer cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #767 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2016. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Ameer, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Ameer seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ameer was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
254 babies were named Ameer in 2022 - that's 1 in 635,535 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Ameer ranked 842 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Ameer, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 29 states are home to men and boys named Ameer. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Ameer living in one state or another. If your name is Ameer and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In New Jersey, which has the most people named Ameer relative to the population, you still have to ask 12,790 men and boys their names before you hear Ameer as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is a very popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 9.0% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter J is more common for boys' names.
With five letters, the name Ameer 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. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 9.0% of all boys' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the boys' names that start with an A, Anthony is the most common.
If your name is Ameer and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
