It comes from the Greek word for Sapphire: zafeíri.https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B6%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%AF%CF%81%CE%B9
http://www.behindthename.com/name/sapphiraName Zemfira is of a Greek origin- Zemphira or Sapphira. Gemstone Sapphire gave the origin to the name. Sapphire is perhaps one of the oldest known gemstones. Their hardness is exceeded only by that of the diamond – and the diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth.
It could also be a Turkic name derived from the Ancient Greek word σάπφειρος (sáppheiros) meaning "sapphire", like irinawren mentioned.
