What Does the Name Namirah Mean?
Namirah is an Arabic feminine name usually explained as "leopardess." It comes from the Arabic namir (نَمِر), a word for a leopard or panther, plus the feminine ending -ah. This is the literal etymology. Some modern name lists also give "princess" or "beautiful," but those meanings are not supported by the Arabic root for leopard.
Namirah Name History & Origins
Namirah is the feminine form of the Arabic name Namir. Adding -ah to a masculine name is a common Arabic pattern, as with Samir and Samirah. English spellings vary because Arabic short vowels are often left unwritten; Namira is a common alternate. The final h in Namirah represents the Arabic feminine ending ة (ta marbutah), often transliterated as ah. The name is used in Arabic-speaking countries. Its early history as a personal name is not well documented.
