Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Lirah, you're looking at a name that fewer than 5 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The open, warm ending gives Lirah a crisp, modern feel that pairs easily with most surnames.
Lirah is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Lirah is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'my song' or 'to me belongs the song.' Musical and deeply personal, it is a name that carries melody within its meaning — a name for a child who came into the world bringing joy that could only be expressed in song.

In the American context, Lirah is a girl's name with a focused stretch of recorded use (2018–2018).
