Ayrah
Meaning of Ayrah
Originating from the classical Arabic root ʿ-y-r, Ayrah conveys notions of nobility and refinement; its phonetic transcription in English—AY-rah (/eɪ-ˈrɑh/)—reflects a direct transliteration strategy that preserves the original vowel-consonant schema. In the United States, Ayrah has maintained a position within the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 female names for at least a decade, with annual occurrences fluctuating between nine in 2014 and nineteen in 2019, and ranking consistently between 925 and 954 before registering at 937 in 2024. This quantitative stability, albeit modest, indicates a deliberate inclination among Anglo-American parents toward names that conjoin cultural authenticity with phonetic clarity. Such a profile, characterized by controlled rarity and substantive semantic resonance—denoting honor and elevated status—situates Ayrah within a broader evaluative framework that privileges technical distinctiveness and intercultural linkage in contemporary naming conventions.
