Archivesanyone?
ok, so it's a feminine name and my dad spent some time in Dubai, so i think it may be arabic in origin, but i have no idea what it means. I was one told that it means something along the lines of dreamy one, lotus eater, etc. but that could be fallacious, so any help would be appreciated. thank you xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm guessing that it's a variation of Sadira, since Zahara and Sahara are both different versions of the same name and have the same meaning, etc. Sadira can mean "prominent point of a valley" in Arabic and Persian (http://www.babyzone.com/babynames/babynamedisplay.asp?ID=27709). According to another site (http://baby-names.adoption.com/search/Sadira.html) , it means "ostrich returning from water"(also in Arabic). And on yet another site, it said that Sadira means "lotus tree" or "dreamy" in Persian (http://www.babynamesorigins.com/girlsnames-s.html). This one also said "dreamy": http://www.mybirthcare.com/favorites/pg1/baby-names-s.asp. And these sites says that it means "star" (http://www.babynameguide.com/categoryarabic.asp?strGender=&strAlpha=S&strCat=Arabic&strOrder=Name and http://www.babynology.com/arabic/baby-names-girl_S_0_s.html#).
These sites said "lotus": http://www.babynamenetwork.com/origin.cfm?origin=Persian and http://www.babychatter.com/persiangirlsnames.html.
I would be more likely to trust a site about Persian and Arabic names than the others, since those would be more likely to be correct.
