Demira
Meaning of Demira
Demira is a modern coinage that seems to have gathered its syllables from several linguistic corners—Spanish “mira” (“look” or “wonder”), the Arabic–Hebrew stem in Amira (“princess”), and even the Turkish–Slavic root demir (“iron”). Because no single culture has an exclusive claim, the name wears a cosmopolitan accent that parents with passports—or aspirations—tend to appreciate. In the United States it has hovered on the Social-Security charts since the early 1990s, never cracking the Top 800 yet refusing to vanish, which gives it the agreeable status of “heard of, but not everywhere.” Pronounced duh-MEER-uh, Demira offers a brisk, three-beat rhythm and a dash of strength beneath its lyrical surface; one might say it’s a velvet glove with a trace of iron, and the baby needn’t reveal the iron until preschool.
