ArchivesRe: Meaning or origin of the name Yahaira
in reply to a message by Yahaira
Hello. I have heard many different versions of what the name means as well. Firstly, my mother told me she got my name from a Peruvian friend of hers, and that the name was of Inca origin. Unfortunately, the novela you mentioned came out 3 months after I was born, and suddenly my name wasn't so unique anymore.
I have heard the name is of Muslim origin, Hebrew origin, Inca origin, and Moorish (from the moorish occupation in Spain, then the Spaniard conquest of the Americas, and so on).
Depending on who in South America you speak to, either the name is very popular or no one has ever heard of it. I think the name is very popular in certain parts of Peru.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Yahaira C

Thank you Yahaira C, I also saw the postsfrom your message board. You had 2 very different replies. I also went to the site that was mentioned in your board and didn't find the link between Yahaira and Yawahir that the man mentioned. It was informational though. My dad Said my name comes from the taino tribe as well as my middle name. He gave all my brothers and sisters taino names. I just can't find the information to back the claim up. I understand that back in the day of exploring the name just lie everything had the possibility of speading but wouldn't you be able to at least find a meaning and origin? Also with as many people who share our name... I am tired of not finding a cup with my name on it! LOL
Thank you
Thank you
