Meaning and history
Khari is a modern given name used in African diaspora, South Asian, and other communities. The spelling can represent unrelated words or names in different languages, and published meanings range from geographic or descriptive terms in Indian languages to associations with Arabic Khayr or Khaira, meaning “good.” Those sources should not be merged into one universal definition. Original language, script, and family history are necessary to identify the intended meaning.
