Origin: Albanian

Meaning: Awake, guardian, watcher; Wind

Awaken in the angel in your little one with Era. Era is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, meaning “awake” or “guardian,” and a lovely variant of the biblical name Er. A twist on the title borne by the eldest son of Judah in Christian belief, which means “watcher,” Era is a name perfect for any play-it-safe personality that may encourage baby to be mindful when a little mindfulness might come in handy. Era’s Albanian origins also suggest meanings of “wind,” so while baby may wait with a watchful eye, you might want to remind them to take a breather while they’re at it!
