Ishira as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Ishira

What is the meaning of the name Ishira ?

The baby name Ishira is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ih-SHEE-rah (IPA: /ɪˈʃiːrə/).

Ishira is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Ishira is a modern cross‑cultural given name, most often feminine. In South Asian use it is read from the Sanskrit root īś- (“lord; divine power”), the element seen in Isha and Ishani, yielding meanings such as “divinely strong,” “sovereign,” or “of the Lord.” In English‑speaking communities it also echoes Hebrew Shira (“song, poem”), which shapes the name’s sound and invites glosses like “song of the divine.” Usage is rare but has grown since the late 20th century in India and the global diaspora.

Variants and related forms include Isira and Ishiraa (spellings), with kindred South Asian names Isha, Ishani, and Ishita; Ishara is a look‑alike from ancient Near Eastern tradition rather than a direct cognate. Less common spellings like Eshira occasionally appear. Nicknames Ishi and Shira are typical. Parents favor Ishira for its layered blend of spiritual authority and artistic resonance.
