Amira rises like the first notes of a song at a wedding. From the Arabic meaning princess, with a parallel Hebrew tradition where it reads as treetop or the rising one, it has long been a favorite in both Arabic and Hebrew-speaking communities and is now spreading widely across Europe and the Americas. It currently sits at 136 on the American girls chart, climbing steadily. Three syllables open, a-MEE-rah, the long middle vowel like a held breath. Regal without being remote, pretty without being fussy. A name carrying centuries of grace across continents and still sounding entirely fresh.
