Ira

Ira is a Hebrew name derived from the word 'ir' meaning 'city' or 'watchman'. The name has been interpreted to mean 'watchful', 'vigilant', or 'alert'.

In the Old Testament, Ira was one of the mighty men who joined David's forces and was later appointed as a priest during his reign.

The name Ira has been used in various cultures over the centuries, but it remains most commonly associated with its Hebrew origins.

Despite its masculine origins, Ira has become a popular name for girls in recent decades, particularly in the United States.
