Meaning & origin
Tahiri is a rare and modern-sounding name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1990, though its roots likely trace to the Arabic root for purity. It peaked in popularity in 2018, and since 2017 its usage has been declining. In 2025 it ranked 8,860 nationally, with roughly 1 in every 146,115 newborn girls given the name. The name is most often chosen by families seeking a distinctive variation of the more established Tahira. Its sound fits well with contemporary trends favoring soft, vowel-ending names, yet it remains uncommon enough to stand out.
Tahiri is a name of uncertain derivation. It is likely a variant or elaboration of Tahira (or Tahirah), which comes from the Arabic root ṭ-h-r, meaning 'pure' or 'chaste'. The name may also be a feminine form of Tahir. It has seen occasional use in the United States since the early 1990s, possibly influenced by Arabic-speaking communities or modern naming trends.
