About the name Amru
Amru is a romanized spelling of the Arabic male name ʿAmr (عمرو), meaning 'life', from the root ʿamara 'to live long, to thrive'. The final -u matches the nominative form ʿamrun. Amro is another spelling. The final waw in Arabic script is silent and only distinguishes it from the name ʿUmar.
