Imrah is Hebrew in Origin.

Imrah is a rare given name most securely traced to Biblical Hebrew. From the noun imrah (אִמְרָה), built on the root ’amar “to speak/declare,” it denotes an utterance, promise, or spoken word - appearing repeatedly in the Psalms as “the word of the Lord.” As a personal name it carries the gentle senses of “promise,” “utterance,” or “eloquent speech,” with a devotional reading of “God’s word.”

Documented historical use as a given name is sparse, but Imrah has seen quiet modern revival in Israel and among Jewish diaspora families seeking uncommon, text-based names; it functions as unisex, slightly leaning feminine due to the -ah ending. Variants and related forms include Imra (simplified transliteration) and Imri (m.), which shares the same Hebrew verbal root. Hebrew Amira (אמירה, “statement”) is a semantic cognate, distinct from Arabic Amira (“princess”). Not to be confused with Arabic Imran or Turkish Emrah, which have different etymologies.
