Yawar meaning
Yawar (یاور) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin.
A helper, assistant; a friend or companion
Also used to mean: brave
Yawar (یاور) is a Persian word for a helper or friend. Steingass gives yāwar as an assistant or coadjutor, a friend or companion, and assistance itself, and yāwarī as help or favour and also victory, boldness and strength; less usefully, the same word can mean a pestle or the tenth day of the solar month. Name lists give "helper" and sometimes "brave", which may come from the senses of yāwarī.
