Imeria is in Origin.

Imeria is a rare feminine name of Greek–Romance heritage, commonly traced to Greek Himeria, feminine of Himerios/Himerius, from himeros meaning longing or desire. In the passage into Latin and later Italian dialects, the rough initial h often disappeared, yielding Imeria. The name also resonates with the ancient Sicilian city and river Himera, giving it a subtle toponymic flavor in southern Italy.

Sparse but persistent usage appears in late medieval and early modern parish registers in Sicily and Calabria, with modern revivals among parents seeking a lyrical, old-world choice. Variants include Himeria, Imera, Iméria (Portuguese/French spelling), and the rarer Emeria; related masculine forms are Himerius and Imerio. Nicknames and short forms: Imi, Miri, Mera, Ria. Meaning centers on yearning, gentle desire, carrying an elegant, romantic tone across Mediterranean languages.
