Long-lived or my command
Amri has multiple potential roots depending on its cultural context. In Arabic, it is often a masculine name meaning 'my command' or 'long-lived,' while in Hebrew it is a variant of Omri, meaning 'sheaf of grain.' In modern usage, it is increasingly chosen for girls as a short, vowel-heavy alternative to names like Amira or Emery.
