Meaning of Imara
Imara is a direct Quranic name for boys that means “to visit”, “to tend”, “to construct”, “to maintain”, “to enliven”. It is used verse 9:19 of the Quran:
Do you regard giving water to pilgrims and tending the Sacred Mosque as being equal to the deeds of those who believe in God and the Last Day and who strive in God’s path? They are not equal in the sight of God. God does not guide such unjust people.

Why is Imara a boy name? It sounds to me like a girls names. Can it be used as a girls name and is the meaning good (meaning doesn’t sound very exciting, just neutral, can the meaning be interpreted differently so that it makes sense when used as baby name?)

There are many common and established Arabic male names that are grammatically feminine, such as Hamza and Hanzala. Whether a name is a boy name or girl name is entirely up to cultural practice and the choices of the parents, so its grammatical gender, while relevant, is not the decisive factor.
