Tabari is of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'tabar' which means 'to be abundant'. It is traditionally used as both a given name and a surname. In Islamic history, Tabari refers to Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, a renowned Persian historian and scholar who lived in the 9th century AD. He was known for his comprehensive historical work, "The History of Al-Tabari". Today, Tabari is used as a given name across various cultures, particularly among Muslims and those with Middle Eastern heritage.
The name Tabari experienced significant popularity with peaks in the late 1970s and early 2000s. However, there's a notable decline after the mid-2000s, with fewer than 10 births per year since 2013, indicating a reduced usage of the name in recent years.
