Bashirah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Bashirah

What is the meaning of the name Bashirah ?

The baby name Bashirah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced bah-SHEE-rah (IPA: /baˈʃiːra/).

Bashirah is Arabic in Origin.

An Arabic feminine given name, Bashirah (بشيرة) derives from the triliteral root b‑sh‑r, associated with joy and the act of giving glad tidings. It is the feminine counterpart of Bashir and literally means “bearer of good news,” with nuances of cheerful, encouraging presence. The final -h reflects the Arabic tāʾ marbūṭa, so you will also see Bashira in Latin script.

Usage spans the Arabic-speaking world and wider Muslim communities in North and East Africa, the Levant and Gulf, and South Asia, with modest presence in Western diasporas since the late 20th century. The name’s positive resonance is reinforced by Qur’anic descriptions of prophets as bashīr (“bringer of good tidings”), from which the feminine form is modeled. Common variants and spellings include Bashira, Basheera, Basheerah, and Beshira; related names from the same root include Bushra and Bishara.
