I've been looking for the meaning of my name but can't seem to find it ANYWHERE! I really would like to know what my name means. My name is "Yahaira", people pronounced it differently so I really dont know how you pronounce it. I would be thankful if you by any chance know what it means and if you dont well, its ok. Thanks

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
