not really ken said:
this name is confusing me?
you knock the last A of and this name is a widely (very widley) used boys name in the sub-continent. And Amar is a variant of Amr, which is a very widely used arabic name. both pronouned almost the same. I always thought that the sub-continental version came from the arabic version. so how did 'Amara' pop into the san skrit
justify yourself Amara
Ken I have no idea how it made it into san skrit, lol. Can't believe you dug up my quote from months ago!
All I know is that it is means immortal/eternal beauty. Check on any baby name website if you will. I believe it is the feminine equivalent of the name you were referring to - Amar, which apparently also means immortal in Hindi according to one site, although I would cross check that.
Anyway it's only a name, my name, and apparently some french rap dude's name too!
A scarier coincidence is that on that cartoon Sailor Moon, one of the characters is Sailor Uranus and her normal name is Amara and her ficticious birthday is the same as mine....weird. She is blonde though.... meh.
