Izamar is of Spanish origin and means "to protect, shield." It's composed of two components: "izar," meaning "to raise" or "to put up a flag," and "mar," referring to the sea. This name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and Europe. It is often used for boys but can also be given to girls due to its unisex nature.
The name Izamar experienced a significant decline in popularity over the years, with the highest number of births occurring in 1990 (108) and the lowest in 2020-2022 (8-9). Despite fluctuations, there's been a consistent decrease since the late 1990s, culminating in fewer than 15 births per year after 2017. As of 2023, a total of 615 babies named Izamar have been born.
