I have a friend named Yadira, and she's the only Yadira I've ever met. She used to go by "Yadi" when she was younger. At first I thought it was a little out-there, but it's really grown on me.
I was told by a Arab man that the name "Yadira" meant Goddess of the flowers.

Well my name is Yadhira. It is pronounced the same as Yadira. You see the 'h' in Spanish is silent and not pronounced. Searching my name I have found that its origin is Arab and it means 'to be friendly'. I have also heard that in another country it meant 'to be in an agreement'. Just though I would share this with whoever sees this website.
