Meaning of Mehra

Mehra is a distinctive and melodious name primarily associated with female gender identity.

This name exudes warmth and benevolence, making it a wonderful choice for a baby girl. Pronounced MEH-rah, it has a gentle cadence that is both easy to say and memorable. Although not very common in the United States, with only 9 newborns named Mehra in 2023, it holds a unique charm for parents seeking a name that balances cultural depth with contemporary appeal.
