Meaning & origin
Lamira is a modern name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1991, and since 2018 its usage has been rising. While it remains rare, the highest number of births occurred in 2010, its peak year. The name has not yet ranked among the top 1,000 names, and no state data is available due to low counts. Its etymology is unclear, likely a creative combination of fashionable sounds, placing it among contemporary coinages rather than traditional names.
Lamira first appears in U.S. records in 1991, suggesting it is a modern coinage. It may be a blend of the prefix 'La-' with the name 'Mira' (meaning 'peace' or 'ocean' in various languages) or an elaboration of the name 'Lamia' (from Greek mythology). Because of its recent emergence and lack of historical usage, its exact derivation is unclear.
