Elmyra Origin and Meaning

The name Elmyra is a girl's name.

Elmyra is an uncommon feminine name with possible derivation from Germanic elements meaning 'noble' and 'famous' or 'renowned.' It may also be a variant of Almira, which has Arabic roots meaning 'princess' or 'elevated.' The name has an antique, Victorian quality that evokes images of the late 19th century. Elmyra gained some modern recognition through the character Elmyra Duff in the animated series 'Tiny Toon Adventures,' though this association hasn't significantly boosted its popularity. The name maintains a distinctive, somewhat old-fashioned charm that might appeal to parents seeking a vintage name that hasn't experienced a revival. With its melodic sound and uncommon status, Elmyra offers a unique option that still feels accessible and pronounceable.
