Ayra
Ayra Origin and Meaning
A beautiful name which is well used in India, and certainly has the potential to catch on elsewhere too, Ayra likely means "respectable" and "awe-inspiring" in Sanskrit, while also relating to the goddess Saraswati.
Pronounced "EYE-rah", the name is reminiscent of some of the most stylish girl names today, such as Ayla, Isla, and Iris.
Other possible sources of the name include from the Arabic Ahrar meaning "pure, good", the Arabic A'irah meaning "without an owner", and the Turkish element ay meaning "moonlight, halo". Alternatively, it may be an alternative spelling of Aira, a modern name relating to air or to the Finnish Airi, meaning "messenger".
Sleek, simple, and with cross-cultural appeal, weren't surprised to see Ayra join the US Top 1000 in recently years. In the UK, it made the Top 150 in a recent count.
