Aneira is Welsh in Origin.

Aneira is a modern Welsh feminine name with deep Brythonic roots. Many interpret it as an intensifying compound of an- “very” and eira “snow,” yielding the evocative meaning “much snow” or “very snowy.” Others treat it as the feminine counterpart of Aneirin/Aneurin, a celebrated early Welsh masculine name linked to the 6th‑century poet Aneirin; that line of derivation points to a sense like “very golden, splendid,” from an- plus eur “gold.” Both readings emphasize brightness and purity in Welsh poetic symbolism.

Usage is relatively recent, rising in late‑20th‑century Wales alongside other Celtic revivals, and it remains uncommon but recognizable in the UK and diaspora. Related forms include Aneirin (m), Aneurin (m), and Eira. Informal shortenings such as Neira or Eira occur. The name appeals for its lyrical sound and wintry imagery paired with a venerable literary pedigree.
