Pronounced zuh-MAR-ee-uhn (/zəˈmɛəriən/), Zamarion is a modern masculine given name whose precise etymology remains elusive but suggests an American origin rooted in inventive phonetic synthesis. The “Za–” prefix reflects a contemporary penchant for distinctive opening sounds, while the “-ion” suffix echoes classical names such as Dorian or Marion, lending a subtle traditional resonance. Though it resists attribution to any single language, Zamarion aligns with broader patterns of African-American naming innovation and wider Anglo-American trends that favor melodic structure and individuality. First recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 2002 with just nine instances, it has since maintained a modest yet steady presence—ranking between 860 and 898 each year and accounting for 39 newborns in 2024. This consistent rarity ensures Zamarion remains both memorable and accessible, and with fewer than fifty bearers annually, parents can feel confident they won’t face duplicate roll calls in the classroom.
