About the name Maíra
Maíra belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Maíra first appears in Social Security records in 1944. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #732 in 1992, and in 2024 62 babies received the name — 6,279 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
