Meira

Meaning of Meira

Meira springs from Hebrew roots and literally means “one who gives light,” so the name hums like a tiny diya lamp dancing at dusk, ready to chase away the shadows. She carries an easy-to-say beat—MAY-rah—that rolls off the tongue as quickly as a child runs toward a burst of sunshine. Parents often picture her as a bright guide, the kind of girl who might share her crayons, her laughter, and maybe even the last gulab jamun. Across the years in the United States, Meira has held a steady, quiet glow on the charts—never a blinding spotlight, yet never fading—rather like the North Star that sailors trust. For families seeking a name that blends ancient meaning with everyday sparkle, Meira offers a snug fit: short, sweet, and forever pointing toward hope.
