Amir Hamja was born in 1992 in Chattogram, Bangladesh .[1] [3] [8] University of Science and Technology Chattogram (USTC), graduating in 2014.[9] [9] [10] [3]
Amir Hamja is an Arabic name. Amir means "prince," "commander" or "ruler." And Hamja (Hamza) means "strong" and "steadfast" and refers to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad's Uncle "Hamza," who was a skilled fighter and commander. I prefer using "J" instead of "Z" in Hamja, as it's more suitable with my native language, Bengali『হামজা.』To avoid confusion, I don't use Mohammad as a first name in my byline (or any other online presence), as it is a very common first name among Muslims.
