Meaning: Shakeera is a variant spelling of Shakira, the feminine of the Arabic Shakir, from the root sh-k-r meaning 'thankful, grateful.'Low
In 30 seconds: Shakeera spells the Arabic name Shakira phonetically; Shakira means 'thankful, grateful,' the feminine of Shakir. It appeared for United States girls from the late nineteen-seventies (said shuh-KEER-uh).
Shakeera is one of several English spellings of Shakira, an Arabic name of gratitude. It stayed uncommon throughout, cresting quietly in the mid nineteen-nineties.
It was given to only a handful of girls a year even at its height, so a girl named Shakeera then would be in her early thirties now. The double-e spelling reads as an American phonetic take on the classical Arabic name.
Did you know? The name reached its small peak in 1994, a few years before the Colombian singer Shakira became famous in the United States, so this spelling rode the Arabic name on its own rather than on her fame.
