Aneyra is in Origin.

Aneyra is a modern, embellished spelling of Welsh Aneira, usually parsed from an- (an intensifying prefix) + eira (“snow”), yielding the poetic meaning “very snowy” or “snow-white.” Some also treat it as a feminine elaboration of Aneirin/Aneurin, a medieval Welsh name possibly meaning “noble” or “splendid,” but the “snow” etymology for Aneira is more widely accepted. The y in Aneyra lends a contemporary twist while preserving the original sound.

Usage is recent and rare. Aneira gained attention in Wales in the mid-20th century - famously borne by Aneira Thomas, named in honor of Aneurin (“Nye”) Bevan - then spread modestly in the English-speaking world. Aneyra appears in late 20th- and early 21st-century records as a creative variant. Related forms and variants include Aneira, Aneirah, Aneyrah, and Eira; stylistic cousins are Eirlys and Eirwen. Nicknames might include Ney, Nera, or Eira.
