Ianyra is in Origin.

Ianyra is a rare modern feminine given name likely formed by creative blending. It appears to intersect with the Greek Ianira/Ianeira, the name of a sea nymph in classical poetry; through that link, Ianyra can carry the evocative sense of “sea nymph” or “of the sea,” though the exact Greek etymology is uncertain. Its vowels and -yra ending also echo names like Lyra and Myra, giving it a lyrical, celestial feel.

In contemporary usage, Ianyra has little attested historical footprint and surfaces mostly in late 20th–21st-century naming, often as a distinctive spelling alongside Spanish Yanira (popular in Puerto Rico and the Canary Islands). Variants and related forms include Ianeira, Ianira, Yanira, Yanyra, and Ianyrah. Possible nicknames: Yani, Nira, Ira. Parents choosing Ianyra typically favor its mythic resonance and modern elegance rather than a single fixed traditional meaning.
