Irah is a charming, unisex name of Hebrew origin—meaning “watchful” or “vigilant”—that rolls right off the tongue as “EYE-ruh.” It has that sweet spot between classic and unexpected: rare enough to stand out (just a dozen little Irahs joined the U.S. birth registers in 2024, hovering around the 900th rank) yet familiar enough to feel effortless. Picture it as a soft lantern lighting a path—a name with gentle strength and quiet confidence. In recent years its popularity has edged upward, proof that more parents are falling for its simple elegance and warm glow. For families craving a name that’s memorable without being over-the-top, Irah offers that perfect balance—small in numbers but big in character. шум
