This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff
Shathir is a variant spelling of Shaatir (spelled as شاطر in Arabic) and it means "clever", "artful". In old Arabic usage the name has negative connotations of evil and trickery, while in modern Arabic the word is losing these connotations. The the word is an indirect Quranic name.
Note that Shaatir is not used by Arabs as a first name, though it is often found as a last name. You are free to use this name, but it is not one of our recommended names because of its negative connotations, which can be found in most Arabic dictionaries.
