Aamira
A girl's name with 478 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Aamira currently holds position #5133. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
Appearing in records from 1989 to 2024, Aamira has a solid multi-decade track record without being a permanent fixture — it belongs to a specific chapter of American naming.
In the most recent SSA release, Aamira ranks #5133 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Aamira is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, meaning 'princess' or 'leader,' the feminine form of Amir (prince, commander). The double-A opening gives this classic Arabic name a distinctive written character.
Aamira carries the elegance and authority embedded in its meaning — a name that speaks of nobility and leadership. It is used across Arab, South Asian, and Muslim communities worldwide.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Aamira does not map cleanly to a single linguistic tradition in our records, which often indicates a name that has crossed cultural boundaries, been adapted between languages, or emerged from the blending that defines American naming.
Aamira’s rarity (478 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
