Jadira Origin and Meaning

The name Jadira is a girl's name.

Jadira is a feminine name with uncertain origins, though it may be related to the Spanish 'Yadira,' which some sources suggest has Arabic roots meaning 'full moon' or possibly Hebrew origins meaning 'friend.' The variant spelling with 'J' emerged more recently, possibly influenced by popular Western naming patterns. Jadira has a melodic quality with its alternating consonants and vowels, creating a rhythmic three-syllable flow. The name remains uncommon in global usage but has appeared sporadically in Spanish-speaking regions and occasionally in the United States. Its exotic sound and potential connection to celestial imagery make it appealing to parents seeking something distinctive with a cross-cultural feel.
