Liyrah is Latin in Origin.

Liyrah is a modern, rare given name, most plausibly an embellished or phonetic variant of Lyra, the Latin form of Greek lyra 'lyre, harp'. It evokes the small constellation Lyra and the myth of Orpheus, whose lyre charmed gods and mortals. In English it is pronounced either LEE-rah or LIE-rah. The spelling Liyrah appears in 21st-century usage as part of creative respellings that personalize classical cores.

Variants and cognates include Lyra, Lyrah, Liyra, Lira, and the related Hebrew Liora/Leora ('light'), whose sound and the name Liyah (from Aaliyah) likely inform the inserted y. The meaning centers on 'lyre,' suggesting music, harmony, and artistry, with a secondary association of 'light' for some families. Usage remains uncommon, chiefly in Anglophone countries, though Lira appears in Slavic and Romance contexts. Nicknames range from Ly and Liri to Riah or Ray; gender use skews feminine but can be unisex.
