Deaira is a girl's baby name of American origin, a phonetic variant of Daira or Deira, possibly influenced by the Arabic da'ira ('circle') or a creative American respelling of Deira, an ancient Anglian kingdom in northern England. Its flowing sound has made it popular in African American communities.
