Amira (أميرة) is the Arabic word for "princess" — the feminine form of amir (commander, prince), the same root that gives English the word "emir." In Hebrew, Amira (אֲמִירָה) means "speech" or "saying," with a separate but harmonising softness.
Common across the Arab world, Israel, and the South Asian diaspora, Amira has been rising in Western countries as parents seek names that feel international and feminine without being delicate.
Amira does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Amira reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
