Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Arabské meno Amir vychádza zo slova amīr (أمير), ktoré znamená „veliteľ, knieža“ a súvisí so slovesom amara „prikazovať“. Nezávisle existuje hebrejské meno Amir (אמיר) s významom „vrcholec, koruna stromu“; hebrejský zápis עמיר označuje „snop“. Ide o samostatné mená zhodné v latinskom prepise, nie o konkurenčné teórie jedného pôvodu.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Arabská etymológia: Encyclopaedia Iranica – AMĪR. Hebrejské významy a zápisy: Amir. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidiel vzoru chlap podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, nie osobitným stanoviskom JÚĽŠ SAV k tomuto menu. Konkrétne heslo v monografii M. Majtána nebolo overené. Štyri až sedem zaužívaných slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo doložiť, preto je pole prázdne. Medzinárodné ekvivalenty uvádzajú spoločný zápis Amir, nie potvrdenie registrácie mena v jednotlivých krajinách.
