Meira

מֵאִירָה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: giving light

• Meira is the feminine form of Meir, meaning "giving light," and it shares a connection to the great Talmudic sage Rabbi Meir, who was known for teaching the practice of daily blessings. That spiritual lineage gives Meira a soft, luminous quality that goes deeper than its beautiful sound. It is a name that carries the idea of bringing light into everyday life, one blessing at a time.

  Effortlessly elegant, Meira works beautifully in both Hebrew and English contexts. It feels polished and modern without sacrificing an ounce of tradition. The name bridges Israeli style with diaspora sensibility and is especially lovely for a winter baby — a reminder that light persists even in the shortest days.
