My Name
Hi. My name is Irasema also!!!! I am Puerto Rican and was named for my mother childhood best friend. I had found a website which indicated the name was actually two names put together. First being IRA which has been found in Hebrew and Hindu. It means watchful or decendant. Second being SEMA from Greek for divine omen. I can't locate that particular website right now, but I have found both names listed on the following site:

According to my sources, the original form is Iracema (with a "c") and Irasema (with an "s")is a variant. It comes from tupí language, means "honey exit" or "bee exit" and is the name of the native novel "Iracema", written by José de Alencard. Also the name Iracema is anagram for America. Hope it helps.
