hey my name is yahaira martinez. As far as i know yahaira means precious and dear in hebrew i got this from a baby name book im not making this up. A persian man told me yahaira is very common is iran where he is from so It'seems yahaira is tied to the middle east somehow. I'mean i think its a female variation of yahir which i think is arab. But yahaira is nice very different as well as my other yahaira collegues people have a hard time pronouncing it as well.

My name is Yahaira too, and I also get most people saying it wrong. It takes years to get it right for some people. But most do not ever get it right and they don't understan why the "r" sounds like a "d". I have actually been accused of lying about my name to make it cooler. Usually people call me Ya-high-ra. But I always tell them its Ya-High-da because most people cannot roll their rrr's like us fabulous spanish folk.

Yes, all of the girls and women'that I have met with my name are spanish and I am too. I do hate it when people don't even'try to pronounce it right or make up other names for it like "YAMAHA", "YOU ARE HIRE" or really mis-pronounce it, but besides that I am very proud of my name and thank my mom for naming me it, because It's a very unique name. So, i will recommend my name for other parents who aren't sure of what to name their kids. Having this name makes me feel like a PRINCESS.

i've been called EVERYTHING... "ya-HAIR-ah", "ya-hee-rah", even -- get this "gel-ep-ise" (go figure!). Correct way of saying it "Ya-high-dah". When you say it right, in Spanish, your tongue rolls and king of has a "d' sound to it. It's the BEST way I can describe it. Granted, my girlfriend "yajaira" (yes, we have the'same name) says her name "yah-high-rah" (when she introduces he'self in english) sounds like a "d" to many people

Does anyone know the title of this novela❤️ Here in the U.S. people butcher my name, but then again no one really knows the "correct" way to pronounce the name. I see that many of you say that is of Arabic descent, but I read somewhere that it is Hebrew meaning "dignified" and/or "treasured." Any thoughts on this❤️ Please share!

Hi, My name is "Yahaira" and to match my difficult to say first name my last name is "Arauz". English speaking people always start spelling my name with a J, but in spanish the Y sounds like a J to English speaking ears, and they finish by adding a D to the end or changing the "ira" part of it to "ria" as if it was "Yaharia". I beleive from all my research it comes from a hebrew name for "God" or a variation of it.

I have come to the conclusion that nobody, except for hispanic people, will ever pronounce my name right. I have had to alter the pronunciation a little so that non-hispanics can say It'somewhat properly. I am also forced to spell it out phonetically to help people out- Jah-high-rah. Easy enough. I read somewhere that it derived from an Indian (native American) name meaning "Wind Song". I actually love that definition, so I stick with it. :o)

Another Yahaira here. I love my name and i've never met anyone with the'same spelling of my name. My mom got it from a soap opera back in the 70s. i've heard different meanings for the name like precious, dear, enlightented and even closely related to GOD in Arabic. The majority of the time people say it wrong or misspell it. I have a ton of nicknames first is YaYa (Got it from my sis because she couldn't say Yahaira when she was small and both my first and middle name'start with Ya Ya). i've also been called Yayi, Yadi, Yati, Yaha, Ya... get the point. I won't change my name for anything in the world.
