Aimara
Meaning of Aimara
Aimara is a feminine given name of Spanish adaptation, etymologically derived from the ethnonym of the Aymara people indigenous to the Central Andean highlands, whose ancient linguistic tradition endows the name with a precise cultural resonance. Phonetically rendered in Spanish as /aɪˈmaɾa/ (eye-MAH-rah), its three-syllable trochaic structure conforms to Iberian prosodic norms. Demographic data from the U.S. Social Security Administration reveal a persistently low frequency—annual occurrences have ranged from five to ten births since 2019, yielding ranks between 937 and 949—while earlier instances include six registrations in both 1981 (rank 777) and 1996 (rank 854), underscoring its enduring rarity. As a technical designation, Aimara conveys both a specific link to indigenous linguistic heritage and a measured distinctiveness prized by parents seeking names of cultural depth.
