Meaning & History
Derived from the Arabic noun سفر (safar) meaning "journey, travel, voyage" as well as "campaign, military expedition".Sometimes this name is given to boys who are born during صفر (Safar), the second month of the Islamic calendar. In those cases, the meaning of the name is "void, empty, vacant", as the month derives its name from the Arabic adjective صفر (safr) meaning "empty, void".In Kazakhstan, the local form of this name is much more common, which is Sapar.
