Altair

Meaning of Altair

Altair has its roots in the Arabic al-ṭā’ir, literally “the flying eagle,” conjuring images of an águila alzando el vuelo across a velvet canvas of stars. From the first vowel dancing on the tongue, this unisex gem exudes both fuerza and gracia, weaving tales of ancient desert nights and spontaneous Latin fiestas bajo la luna. Loved from Casablanca to Cartagena, Altair sparkles like Aquila’s brightest estrella, guiding little ones with celestial charm and a daring espíritu—so lively it might attempt liftoff before you even buckle them into their cuna. Parents embrace its free-spirited vuelo, ready to ignite imaginations with every syllable.
