Amir is a title of rulers or military leaders in many Muslim countries. It is also alternatively written as Emir.
Amir, Ameer may refer to:
Amir (also spelled Ameer or Emir, , , , , ) is a masculine name with three meanings, one is Arabic/Hebraic origin derived from the three letters AMR which means 'to give orders' or a "Prince". The title Emir in Arabic, which is essentially the same word as Amir, therefore means: "one who gives orders". It also means summit of a tree in Hebrew or a pile of harvested wheet ; and other one in Persian is pronounced in the same way but it has a different meaning, it consists of two parts; "A" which means "Un" and "mir" which is the root of the verb "Mordan مُرَدن" ( to die ), so Amir in Persian means the one who [his spirit and his memory] will never die.
Amir (; Previously: Timsar, ), is the honorific title used for officer of high rank, ranking 2nd Brigadier General and higher in the Islamic Republic of Iran Army. The title is also used to address Law Enforcement Force of Islamic Republic of Iran commanders, except for those who previously have served in the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, where " Sardar" is equivalent to the title. Amirs are often graduates of the University of Command and Staff (DAFOOS).

Usage examples of "amir".
Lord Templeton, Amir Bedawi, you do me honor gracing the deck of my boat.
His friendship with Amir Bedawi went back fifteen years to their boyhood, though there were no obligations to either party in that timely association.
Once a eunuch surgeon to the harem of Sultan Mehomet, the viceroy of Egypt, Masri had served Amir Bedawi, Lionel Templeton faithfully from the day Lionel had freed him.
Ali Ben Souq added quietly, managing with a reasonable voice to lower the hostility rising in Amir Bedawi.
Fear of Amir Bedawi returning and her being unable to resist him, made Laura keep her misery to herself.
Laura clung to the pillows as Amir Bedawi leaned over her and soothingly stroked her head.
And in those same dreams she would dance naked before Amir Bedawi, moving ever closer and closer to him, drawn like a moth beating its wings too close to the flame.
What if she was told to dance, to show the skills she knew Masri had told Amir she had learned?
When she finally returned to sleep, Laura Madeline was very, glad Amir Bedawi had completely forgotten her.
She would do anything, wear anything, so long as Masri told Amir she was ready.
There Amir waited with the Aman and four Arabic speaking men, selected from the crew to witness the wedding.
She sprawled on her belly over Amir Bedawi, her cheek rested on his chest.
That seemed to satisfy Amir in some obscure manner and he kissed each of her knees then placed his mouth to the soft muscle inside each limb and fiercely suckled and bit, leaving a bold mark like a brand on each.
If Amir had come once and held her in his arms, stroked her head, and told her not to be afraid, she would have been eternally grateful.
Laura felt cheated, for here came Amir Bedawi, at last, and she had no sun to provide her eyes the feast they had waited for all day.
