Bashira is from the Arabic بشيرة (Bashīrah — bringer of good news, joyful tidings) — from Arabic bashara (to bring good news) + bushra (good news). Bashira is one of the Arabic feminine names — central to traditional Muslim heritage. Arabic feminine name reflecting Islamic Prophetic-evangelical heritage.
Bashira 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 Bashira reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
