Ameira Name History & Origins
The Arabic name behind Ameira is Amīrah, the feminine of amīr. In medieval Islamic states, amīr was a title for military commanders and rulers, and the feminine form was used as a title for a princess and as a personal name. The words are formed from the Arabic root ʾ-m-r, meaning "to command."
Ameira is one of several Latin-alphabet spellings of Amīrah, along with Amira, Ameera, and Amirah.
