Mehera is in Origin.
Mehera is a feminine name with Persian and South Asian roots. It derives from Persian Mehr/Meher - “sun,” “love,” and “kindness” - a word tied to the ancient Iranian divinity Mithra (Mihr), guardian of covenants and light. In the subcontinent the meaning is reinforced by Sanskrit Mihira, another term for the sun, so Mehera carries blended senses of warmth, radiance, grace, and benevolence. Common pronunciations include MEH-heh-rah and meh-HAIR-uh.
The name has been favored among Parsi and Zoroastrian families and later spread into Hindi- and Urdu-speaking communities, where Meher is also used as a unisex given name. A known bearer is Mehera J. Irani (1907–1989), closely associated with the spiritual teacher Meher Baba, which helped popularize the form. Variants and cognates include Meher, Mehr, Meherah, and Mihira; related pet forms such as Meheru also appear. Mehra occurs as a surname and occasional given name but may have separate lineage.
