Avira
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 274 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Fewer than 274 Americans have ever been named Avira. It first appeared in SSA records in 2014 and peaked modestly at 45 births in 2022 — rare enough to be distinctive, with just enough history to feel grounded.
In the most recent SSA release, Avira ranks #3959 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Avira is a girl's baby name with roots in Hebrew, where avir means 'air' or 'atmosphere,' giving the name a meaning of lightness and breath. It is also used in Sanskrit-influenced traditions, where it can connect to strength and brightness.
Rare, melodic, and cross-cultural, Avira has an airy quality that feels both ancient and contemporary. For parents who love names that float — like Aria, Aviana, or Zephyra — Avira offers something genuinely unique.
