Help[Opinions] Ira
What do you think of Ira? It's short length and ending kind of remind me of Asa. Does it initially sound like a masculine name?
IRA (1)
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Biblical, English, Hebrew
Other Scripts: òÄéøÈà (Hebrew)
Pronounced: IE-rə (English) [key]
Means "watchful" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this was the name of King David's priest. As an English Christian given name, Ira began to be used after the Protestant Reformation. In the 17th century the Puritans brought it to America, where remained moderately common into the 20th century.
