Amaira is a modern name that is usually read as a variant of the Arabic Amira, "princess" or "leader", though Indian families also explain it from Sanskrit as "beautiful" or "eternal". The soft -aira ending gives it a flowing, Samaira-like sound. Amaira had fewer than five births in 2000, rose steadily to a peak of number 1782 in 2022 and ranks number 2438 in 2025 with 73 girls.
