Sapira Origin and Meaning

The name Sapira is a girl's name.

Sapira is a feminine name with possible Hebrew origins, potentially derived from 'sapphire,' the precious blue gemstone. It may be a variant of Saphira or Sapphira, which appears in biblical contexts. In the New Testament, Sapphira was a woman in the early Christian community, though her story is cautionary. The name has elegant, jewel-like qualities that connect it to other gemstone names like Ruby or Pearl. Sapira's melodic three-syllable structure gives it a flowing, feminine sound. While uncommon in mainstream usage, the name may appeal to parents seeking something distinctive with subtle biblical connections and natural beauty associations without being as obvious as directly naming a child after a gemstone.
