Qamar is the Arabic word for 'moon,' used as a given name for both boys and girls; it also names the 54th sura of the Quran (Al-Qamar). Literal and well established.
From Arabic ʿatiyyah 'gift, present, bestowal', from the root meaning 'to give'. Often understood as a gift (and blessing) from God. Historically male in Arabia, now more common for girls.
Qamar and Atiyah are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Qamar means Moon (arabic origin), while Atiyah means gift (arabic origin).
In US records, Qamar first appears in 0 and Atiyah in 0, so Qamar has the longer recorded history.
