With Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late, great ๐Michael Jackson — being in the spotlight with the release of the film ๐ฅ trailer for Michael, in which he portrays his uncle — I will discuss the jarring name: ๐Jaafar!
The name Jaafar means 'stream' and is used "dominantly in Gujarati, Arabic, Kannada, Marathi and Hindi." Jaafar is a variant of the name ๐Jafar. Jafar is "most commonly associated with the Disney villain from Aladdin," Nameberry points out.
In the United States, the places where the most Jaafars live include: ๐Michigan and ๐Vermont. In ๐Iraq, Jaafar is a popular baby boy name where "every 1 in 600 have the name as well as in, Syria, Malaysia, Morocco, Jordan and Nigeria."
I like the name ๐Jaafar (although I prefer it with one 'a') despite that it's quite a dark name being associated with Aladdin's nefarious nemesis. ๐ I think Jaafar (or Jafar) is a ๐ cool ๐name. Jaafar may be rare and uncommonly used as a boy's name in the U.S. but perhaps with Jaafar Jackson's ⭐star rising, ๐Jaafar will rise on the name ๐charts as well.
