History & Origin
Taheera is a phonetic spelling of the Arabic Tahira, 'pure' or 'chaste,' a name long respected in Muslim communities. In the United States it appears in records from around 1976, reaching a modest high in the late 1970s, carried in part by families affirming Muslim heritage. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.
A girl named Taheera from that period would be in her forties now. The name keeps its dignity and meaning intact across spellings, and this English-friendly form stays a heartfelt heritage choice rather than a mainstream American name.
