The entry for Yadira says that its meaning is unknown and that it may have an Arabic origin.

I've read that some Arabic names were introduced to Latin American because of Lebanese immigrants, but I've checked my Arabic name book and can't find any name that's particularly close to Yadira. However it looks like it could be a blending of several names.

I've seen some speculative meanings on others sites - they often say it's Hebrew or Arabic, meaning "friend" or "friendly". Is there any truth to this, is it just a "baby name site" etymology?

Also, how is Yadira pronounced?
