Daira

Meaning of Daira

Daira traces its roots to the Old Persian name Darius through its feminine form Daria, gaining a distinctive twist in the Spanish-speaking world as Daira, pronounced DIE-rah (/ˈdaɪɹə/). Etymologically, it conveys “possessing wealth or goodness,” reflecting a legacy of quiet authority and generous spirit. In the United States, Social Security records show Daira emerging in the late 1970s and holding a modest but steady position—hovering in the 800–920 popularity range with 32 births in 2024; it has so far escaped the unpredictability of celebrity baby-name cycles, maintaining a measured trajectory. This stability suggests an understated appeal for parents seeking a name that balances classical depth with contemporary rarity. Much like an intricate motif woven into a Persian carpet, Daira unites old and new, appealing to those drawn to names rich in narrative and analytical clarity.
