Zemariam is a unique and distinctive name of Ethiopian origin, derived from the Ge'ez word 'zemar', meaning 'song'. It's a unisex name, traditionally given to both boys and girls in Ethiopia, reflecting its rich cultural heritage. Zemariam has gained global recognition due to figures like Zemariam Kebede, an Ethiopian long-distance runner who competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Zemariam is quite rare, with only five babies named so in total over one year (2021).
