Sayra

Meaning of Sayra

Sayra emerges as a cross-cultural variant of the classic Hebrew name Sarah—traditionally meaning “princess” or “noblewoman”—and in Hebrew contexts is rendered SAI-rah (/saɪrə/), while in Spanish it appears as SAY-rah (/ˈseɪrə/). In the United States its usage has remained modest but remarkably consistent since the early 1980s, ranking in the lower 900s and accounting for about nineteen newborns in 2024. This steadiness underscores Sayra’s appeal to parents who favor a name that sidesteps both overuse and obscurity. With its balanced, two-syllable cadence and softly confident tone, Sayra offers a blend of heritage and modern sensibility—quietly distinctive, yet grounded in a sense of timeless elegance.
