Meaning of the name Mayar
Mayar is a recent girls’ name, very fashionable in Egypt, the Levant and the Gulf. It is linked to the root m-y-r: mira is the store of food one goes to fetch and brings back to one’s family, and the mayyar is the one who brings it. The name thus evokes provision and care for one’s own; other meanings attributed to it (“moonlight”) have no support.
