Amirah

Often explained as “princess” or “female leader/commander,” depending on context.

Amirah is a feminine given name used across many Arabic-speaking communities and beyond. In everyday explanations, it’s commonly connected with ideas like “princess” or a feminine form linked to a leader or commander, though exact glosses can vary. From an etymology standpoint, Amirah is typically described as related to the Arabic root behind amir, a title and word associated with leadership. Different Latin spellings (Amirah, Amira, Ameera) usually reflect transliteration habits rather than a different name. Pronunciation guidance is often ah-MEE-rah, with a clear long “ee” sound in the middle. If you’re choosing a spelling for records, it helps to pick one and keep it consistent, since multiple spellings are in common use.

Etymology: Commonly treated as the feminine form related to Arabic amir (a leader or commander). Transliteration and nuance can vary by region and source.
