amir

n. male first name

n. emir, Muslim ruler (i.e. prince, commander, etc.); title for a descendant of Muhammad prophet of Islam

Emir (Arabic: ; , , "commander" or "general", later also "prince" ; also transliterated as amir, aamir or ameer) is a high title of nobility or office, used in Arabic nations of the Middle East and North Africa, and historically, in some Turkic states. While emir is the predominant spelling in English and many other languages, amir, closer to the original Arabic, is more common for its numerous compounds ( e. g., admiral) and in individual names. Spelling thus differs depending on the sources consulted.
