Alyra
Meaning of Alyra
Alyra is a contemporary feminine given name of likely origin within Anglo-American contexts, constructed through the integration of the classical Greek lexeme lyra—denoting both the stringed instrument and a constellation—with an initial vowel-bound augmentative element; its phonological configuration, /əˈlaɪrə/, conforms to standard English stress assignment. First attested in United States birth registers in the mid-1990s, Alyra has since exhibited incremental yet stable adoption, culminating in 22 recorded occurrences (rank 928) in 2024. Onomastically, the name conveys associations of musicality, celestial imagery and innovative coinage, situating Alyra within a niche cadre of modern appellatives that balance classical allusion with linguistic novelty.
