Yadira

I never knew this until now and I guess I was lucky to have this amazing name!

Pretty name. I only wish its etymology were certain, although what above commenters have said seem like good possibilities.

It seems a Semitic name...
I've never heard it before, but it has a fascinating sound!

I was surprised to find that this is a Latin American name of unknown origin. It struck me as Arabic.

I have a friend named Yadira, and she's the only Yadira I've ever met. She used to go by "Yadi" when she was younger. At first I thought it was a little out-there, but it's really grown on me.
