Emzar
Fewer than 200 men in Poland carry it, so most people here have never met one. It's given only to boys, and no newborn has picked it up in recent years.
Emzar Pronunciation

What Emzar means
Where Emzar comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Emzar comes from Georgia, a man's name out of the Caucasus. Its origin sits in the "other" column, outside the Latin and Slavic roots that most Polish names share. Georgian scholars are not sure what it first meant.
One Russian reading traces it to the Persian word zar, meaning gold. If that reading holds, Emzar keeps a small piece of Persian inside a Georgian shape. The short meaning stays uncertain. Gold is a guess, attached later by people listening back to the sound rather than a documented root.
Real men carry it. Emzar Kvitsiani, a Georgian public figure, is one recorded bearer. In Poland the name is rare, with no imieniny on the calendar and no Polish diminutive grown up around it. A teacher working through a class register would slow down before saying it. The one short meaning ever offered for Emzar is a single, uncertain word: gold.
