Hagir is an alternate transcription of the Arabic name هاجر (Hajar), which is traditionally associated with the biblical and Quranic figure Hagar. Hagar is known as the handmaid of Sarah and the mother of Ishmael, making the name significant in both Islamic and Judeo-Christian traditions. The name Hajar itself means 'flight' or 'emigration,' reflecting Hagar's journey and her role in the narratives of these religions.
