Meaning & origin

Jasira is a modern American coinage first recorded in 1997, placing it among the newer entries in the baby name landscape. Its popularity peaked in 2009, but by 2025 the name had fallen to a rank of 13,208, with only about 1 in 267,878 babies receiving it. The name has been on a downward trajectory since 2010, suggesting it has not sustained the brief interest it generated in the mid-2000s. Jasira has not appeared as a top name in any U.S. state, and its usage remains concentrated among families seeking a distinctive, melodic name with a contemporary feel.

Jasira first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1997, around the same time that similar-sounding names like Jasmina and Jazira gained modest attention. It is likely a modern coinage, perhaps blending the popular sound of Jasmin with a fashionable ending. No historical derivation predating the 1990s has been identified.
