Re: i can't find the origin of my name and it's meaning
According to a religious site (http://www.latinodawah.org/newsletter/jan2k2newletter.html) Yahaira is an Islamic name that was introduced to Spain via the Moors.
If so, Yahaira could be related to Jawahir.

I was told that the meaning of "yahaira" was Ruler, but i'm not 100% sure about that. I was also told that it came from an indian tribe and that it was spelled Jahaira
