History & Origin
Shamera is one of the many Sha- names that bloomed in late twentieth-century American naming. Its -mera ending softly recalls Tamera, giving a warm three-beat name that touched a modest high in the early nineteen-nineties.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, and it slipped from records by the early twenty-tens. A girl named Shamera at that high would be in her mid-thirties today. The name reads as a creative, of-the-moment choice rather than a lasting favorite.
