MEANING & HISTORY

What does Nazar mean?

The same spelling Nazar belongs to more than one documented name tradition. In several Eurasian languages it is a form of Latin Nazarius, from Nazareth.

A separate Arabic-related name account derives it from the word for a vow or pledge. The letters do not select between those histories. The place-name family and vow account are therefore explained separately, without assigning a particular script, religion or birthplace to a Philippine bearer.
