Xamira is a modern American spelling of Zamira or Samira with a fashionable X. Samira is Arabic and means "companion in evening conversation", while Zamira is usually read as "song" from Hebrew or "good voice" from Albanian; the X spelling carries the same meanings. Xamira was almost unheard of ten years ago, jumped from number 3510 in 2024 to number 1182 in 2025, its highest rank so far, and is one of the fastest-rising girls' names of the year.
