Meaning: Lighthouse, guiding light

Baby’s anticipated arrival shines a guiding light on the years to come, so what better name to choose than Manar? This Arabic name means “lighthouse” or “guiding light” and is made even more attractive by its aloof gender neutrality. Manar is also an English surname brought over by the Normans during the Conquest of 1066. Boasting Viking ancestry, Manar’s meaning is quite elusive with these roots. So, carrying a vibrant, warrior spirit that heralds hope and a sense of home, Manar is ideal for the newest member of your family.
