Meaning & History
Means "strong, mighty" in Hebrew (compare Adir), derived from the root of אבר (ʿabar) "to strive upward, mount, soar, fly" (allegedly the name also means "aroma"; cf. the feminine אבירית (Avirit) "air, atmosphere, spirit").
From Hindi अबीर (abīr) referring to a type of coloured powder used during the Holi festival. The word itself is ultimately derived from Arabic عَبِير (ʿabīr) meaning "scent, perfume".
