Amiyra
A girl's name of Arabic origin with 86 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 86 babies have been named Amiyra in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
In the most recent SSA release, Amiyra ranks #11133 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Amiyra is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Amira meaning 'princess,' 'leader,' or 'commander.' The Amiyra spelling reflects the oral tradition of the African American community, where the name has been adapted with a distinctive visual identity.
Regal and beautiful, Amiyra carries all the princess energy of Amira while claiming its own individual spelling — a name that announces its bearer with quiet authority.

Its Arabic classification suggests a path from arabic linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
