Yajaira is a feminine name of contested origins. While it’s widely accepted as a Native American name meaning “clear as the day,” its many variants take different shape and meaning everywhere else. For instance, Yajaira in Hebrew means “beloved” or “precious.” In Swahili, the moniker means “dignified,” and in Arabic, it can mean “princess” or “jewel.” The good thing is that you don’t have to choose from among these interpretations. Yajaira is a multicultural name that doesn’t confine your little one by one thing or be defined by a singular identity. Instead, it’ll encourage them to explore and perhaps even add to the roster.
