Origin of the name Almira

The name Almira is considered to be an Arabic modified form of the name Ilmira or Elmira. Also, the name Almira comes from the name of the port in Spain Almeria, which was conquered by the Arabs in the 9th century. There is a version about the origin from the male ancient German name Elmer or the Spanish female ancient name Edelmira. The name in our time is common only among the Tatars, who prefer this particular form Almira or Elmira, and among Muslims.

There is Handel’s 1705 Italian opera “Almira”. The Elmir form is found in the works of Moliere and Goethe. The name was considered more popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Now it is difficult to find it in the West, and in Russia it is also almost unique. The name Almira is more typical of the Eastern tradition. All three names – Almira, Ilmira and Elmira are beautiful in their own way. It’s good that the fashion for euphonious unusual names awakens parents’ interest in this beautiful name.
