Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps (July 15, 1793 – July 15, 1884) was a 19th-century American scientist, educator, author, and editor. Her botany writings influenced more early women to be scientists (botany), including Eunice Newton Foote and her daughter, Augusta Newton Foote Arnold. Though she primarily wrote regarding nature, she also was a writer of novels, essays, and memoir.
This form of Almira must have been added some time after the one with the "Literature" usage, because when I'd first discovered this name (on another site a long, long time ago) its origin was listed as Arabic, with the meaning "princess". It would've been more accurate to say that the name was uniquely Bosnian, but nonetheless, the mystery has been solved at last!I've always thought this was a very pretty name. It's a little spicier than Mira (though you can still have the Mira nickname), and has the same "vibe" (to me) as Amalia, Amelina, and similar names.
