Etymologies
[edit]The connections to the name "Amir" have been standing here since 2014 without any sources. I haven't seen that in any German, Basque or Estonian onomastics literature (the name is also common in Estonia).
Also the Germanic etymology with "home, Haim-, and hard, -hard" is questionable. Both Seibicke's Historisches deutsches Vornamenbuch (1996) and Kruken's & Stemshaug's Norsk personnamnleksikon (2013) explain the name as agi- (from age ‘reverence, discipline’ or egg ‘edge’) and -mar (‘famous’).
The link supposed to show that the name appeared in medieval texts from the 9th to 14th centuries in the Kingdom of Navarre doesn't work. At the web page of the Euskaltzaindia, they mention only the 13th and 14th century: https://www.euskaltzaindia.eus/index.php?option=com_ecoeoda&task=izenaIkusi&Itemid=469&lang=eu&kodea=69 Þorgils (talk) 17:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
