With Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late, great 👑Michael Jackson — being in the spotlight with the release of the film 🎥 trailer for Michael, in which he portrays his uncle — I will discuss the jarring name: 📛Jaafar!
The name Jaafar means 'stream' and is used "dominantly in Gujarati, Arabic, Kannada, Marathi and Hindi." Jaafar is a variant of the name 📛Jafar. 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: 📍Michigan and 📍Vermont. In 📍Iraq, 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 📛Jaafar (although I prefer it with one 'a') despite that it's quite a dark name being associated with Aladdin's nefarious nemesis. 😅 I think Jaafar (or Jafar) is a 😎 cool 📛name. Jaafar may be rare and uncommonly used as a boy's name in the U.S. but perhaps with Jaafar Jackson's ⭐star rising, 📛Jaafar will rise on the name 📈charts as well.
