What is the meaning of the name Ashira ?

The baby name Ashira is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-SHEE-rah (IPA: /əˈʃiːrə/).

Ashira is Hebrew in Origin.

Ashira is a Hebrew feminine name meaning “I will sing” or “let me sing,” from the verb shir, “to sing.” The phrase appears prominently in Exodus 15:1 - Ashira l’Adonai, “I will sing to the Lord” - and in Hebrew liturgy, giving the name a celebratory, devotional tone. As a given name it rose with the modern Hebrew revival and is used in Israel and across the Jewish diaspora for its lyrical sound and upbeat meaning.

Variants include Ashirah (transliteration) and the closely related Shira/Shirah (“song”), with nicknames Ashi and Shiri. Though it sounds similar, Ashira is unrelated to Asher (“happy/blessed”) or to Asherah, the ancient Near Eastern deity. In Arabic, ʿashīra means “clan” and may be encountered as a separate name or word with distinct origin. Overall, Ashira conveys music, praise, and joy.
