History & Origin
Sheera is a lyrical girl's name that draws on more than one source. It echoes the Hebrew shira, 'song' or 'poem,' a familiar element in Jewish naming, and the English word 'sheer.' Its spelling also recalls She-Ra, the animated heroine introduced in the mid-nineteen-eighties, whose fame overlapped the name's brief high point.
Sheera was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak in the mid-nineteen-eighties, and it stayed rare on either side of that. A girl named Sheera then is about forty today.
