I think it's such a cool name. It makes me think of a stylish, intelligent Jewish woman from North America. I picture someone who is confident and creative but also a humanitarian when I hear the name Shifra.

It's like Siofra (Irish name, same pronunciation). Weird how basically the same name can come up in two completely different cultures! Cool.

The first Shifra was the mother of the biblical Moses. Her original name was Yocheved, but was 'nick-named' Shifra since Shifra means 'beautiful' and, in her role as a midwife in Egypt, she used to beautify the babies after birth.
