Shirah, of Hebrew origin, is a unique and beautiful name that means "song" or "poem." It is derived from the Hebrew word "shir," which translates to "song." This moniker is often chosen for its musical quality and the artistic connotation it carries. Shirah is typically used as a female given name but can also be used for males in some cultures. It is not very common, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child. The name Shirah does not have any widely recognized patron saints or significant historical figures associated with it, allowing the bearer to create their own legacy and identity.
