About Zemira
A multicultural choice with a zippy yet elegant sound, Zemira may be interpreted as a variation of the Hebrew Zimri or the Arabic Zamir and Samir. From its Hebrew roots, Zemira may have the wonderful, melodic meaning of "song, music, praise", while from its Albanian origins, it is equally as tuneful, with the meaning "good voice". Alternatively, from its Arabic roots, it could mean "heart, mind, conscience" via Zamir and "companion for the evening talk" from Samir.
Most familiar in Bosnia and Brazil, a recent year also saw it given to 45 girls in the US
Pronounced zuh-MEER-uh.
As of October 2026, Zemira ranked #3457 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1995 in 2018.
