Meaning & origin
Aamira is a feminine name of Arabic origin meaning 'princess' or 'female ruler,' closely tied to the masculine Amir. Since first appearing in U.S. records in 1989, it reached its peak rank of 7885 in 2021, but its trajectory has been falling since 2016. In 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in every 123,636 newborn girls. The name remains uncommon, with no single top state showing heavy concentration, and it has not seen a revival in the 2020s. Aamira offers a direct and noble meaning, appealing to families seeking a name with clear cultural roots and a regal sense.
