The name is of German origin al (all) and zire (ornament and beauty). The name became known from voltaire's literary work Alzire the Les Américains. The story inspired Guiseppe Verdi to create an opera that immortalized it, an opera that was first presented to the public on August 12, 1845 at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. Nowadays, there are rare girls named Alzira, all over the world. In Brazil, the most famous Alzira is Alzira Soriano and the most famous Alzira in the world is Alzira Peirce. My name is Alzira and I'm also Brazilian.
