All About the Baby Name – Amira

Personality

OF THE GIRL NAME AMIRA

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. They exude nurturing, loving, and caring energy. Sixes are in love with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people toward them. Like the number Two personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world at large. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a champion for the underdog. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by lovely material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive in giving back to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they achieve great things. Sixes are natural teachers, ministers and counselors.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME AMIRA

Amira has only been on the U.S. female naming charts since 1998, so it’s a name that hasn’t been around that long. This name has gone from total obscurity to mild moderation. In the past couple of years, however, we have seen this name declining on the charts. Amirah is another, less popular spelling also on the charts today. Like the name Sarah (which is Hebrew for “princess”), Amira is another lovely sounding name to consider for your baby girl – your little princess.
