Meaning and origin of Fahira
In Bosnian, the Arabic Fākhira became Fahira, the girl's version of Fākhir, describing something splendid, excellent or finely made. Bosnian writes the Arabic 'kh' sound as 'h' and does not mark the long 'ā', and those two changes produce Fahira. Its root relates to excelling and taking pride. It is a traditional name among Bosniak women, especially in Bosnia and the Sandžak region.
