my girl's name

A lot of my friends have been asking where i got my baby's name from and what it means, so here's the answer ....I have actually browsed a lot of baby names websites and listed all the unique names that are nice and sounded nicely along with our family name. We wanted a unique name since our last name is quite common. After a lot of searches on the internet, we finally found the name we liked and it is "Amara". I researched for it's meaning and I found different results for every language and here are some which I liked best -- from its Latin origin, its meaning is "everlasting"; in Greek, it means "of eternal beauty", "unfading, eternally beautiful"; in German -- steadfast, immortal. I have yet to find out it's meaning in Spanish, or French and Italian, if there's any. Finding its Hindi translation or meaning in any African dialect would also be interesting. Let me google it :-)
