Tahiri, pronounced tuh-HEER-ee (/təˈhɪri/), is a feminine name of Arabic origin—rooted in the masculine Tahir, meaning “pure”—that conveys an uncluttered elegance. In the United States, it has established a stable but rarefied niche: 16 newborns bore the name in 2023 (rank 942), up from just six in the early 1990s and peaking at 21 in 2018. This measured ascent, whispering where other names shout, resembles a quiet bloom in a bustling garden—unassuming yet unmistakable. Beyond its statistical profile, Tahiri channels North African traditions and even nods to speculative-fiction devotees familiar with a certain Jedi diplomat. Its blend of refinement, moral clarity and understated warmth appeals to parents who prize purity of sound and gracious individuality.
