Amiriyah
Pronounced ah-MEER-ee-yah /ΙΛmΙͺr.i.jΙ/Medium
Meaning: Amiriyah is a modern American elaboration of Amira/Amiri. Amira is Arabic for 'princess, commander' (feminine of amir), and the -iyah ending is also an Arabic feminine suffix. This exact spelling has no documented history as a name; routes uncertain, which we note.Low
History & Origin
Amiriyah is a modern American elaboration built on Amira, the Arabic word for 'princess' and the feminine of amir, 'commander, prince'. The -iyah ending is itself a familiar Arabic feminine suffix, but this exact name-form has no documented history and reads as a contemporary coinage in a real root. We give the root honestly and flag the form as modern - routes uncertain, which we note (said 'ah-MEER-ee-yah').
It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, modern, and rooted in a real Arabic word.
