Jafar definition and meaning
juh-FAR · proper noun
What does Jafar mean?
Jafar is the villainous vizier in Disney's Aladdin. In that story, the name identifies a character at the Sultan's palace, not a title for every villain.
What does JAFAR mean in a crossword?
An Aladdin or Sultan's-vizier clue can point to the five-letter name JAFAR. Keep the question's category straight: a character clue asks for Jafar, while a voice-performer clue asks for a person's name.
Why is JAFAR useful to learn?
Disney's own character reference identifies Jonathan Freeman as Jafar's voice. That creates two different lookup tasks: “Which villain?” and “Who voiced him?” Knowing the relationship is more useful than treating the film title as a universal instruction to enter JAFAR.

Jafar can also be a person's given name outside Disney. Do not transfer the character's traits to an unrelated real person. This entry explains the verified Disney identity; it does not claim an Arabic name translation or that every Aladdin adaptation uses identical characters.
