Semira
Meaning of Semira
Semira (pronounced səˈmɪrə) is a feminine name of Arabic origin, derived from the root Samīrah, signifying “entertaining companion” or “friend of the evening.” It conveys an air of eloquence and thoughtful presence, qualities echoed in its historical use among poets and scholars of the Arab world. In the United States, Semira has maintained a modest yet consistent profile, hovering in the 900s on the Social Security rankings throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, with eighteen newborns given the name in 2024. Its straightforward pronunciation and graceful rhythm provide accessibility without sacrificing distinctiveness, appealing to parents who value names that strike a balance between cultural resonance and modern sensibility. While it has not surged into the top tier of popular names—a status that spares it from overcrowded baby-name charts—Semira’s enduring usage underscores a quiet appeal and a preference for names with a subtle but meaningful heritage.
