Amirah

3 syllablesTrend: up

From Arabic, 'princess' or 'leader'

Amirah arrives with the quiet confidence of a name meant to be inherited. From the Arabic root for "princess" or "leader," it's long been beloved across the Muslim world, and the final H gives the English spelling a softer, more lyrical finish than its shorter counterpart. Three syllables move through it like a phrase of music, starting bright, lingering at the middle, and trailing to a gentle breath. At 464 in American rankings, it reads as contemporary without being trendy, rooted in centuries of use. Amirah suggests poise and a certain unhurried elegance, a name that already sounds grown.
