Mayra

Mayra is a feminine name of Spanish origin that is derived from either the name Maria or the word 'mair' which means 'bitter' in Spanish.

When derived from Maria, Mayra is considered a variant or diminutive form of the name. Maria itself is a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'beloved' or 'bitter'. It is a widely popular name in many cultures, particularly in Christian and Spanish-speaking communities.

If Mayra comes from the word 'mair', it would carry the meaning of 'bitter' or 'sorrowful'. However, this meaning is not as widely accepted or used, as the name is more commonly associated with Maria.

Regardless of its exact origin, Mayra is a beautiful and melodic name that has a feminine and gentle sound. It is a popular name among Spanish-speaking communities, but it is also used in other parts of the world, adding a touch of cultural diversity.
