The name is most common in Virginia, New Jersey, and Ohio, suggesting regional appeal. Its etymology is unclear; it may derive from the Arabic Aira or be a contemporary coinage.

Aaira first appeared in U.S. records in 2009, and its origins are unclear.

Its recent emergence and lack of established historical usage make its derivation uncertain.
