Meaning or origin of the name Yahaira
Hello
I am trying to search the origin of my name Yahaira. I know that there a a few different spellings of this name for example
yahaira
jahaira
yajaira
jajaira
I heard that the names yanira, jadira were spin offs of this name as well. I have not been successful in finding any information. I am Puerto Rican and from NY. I know my mom and friends with the same names parents got our name from a spanish novela that aired in the 70's called Esmeralda. I have also met other yahaira's from Mexico, Nicaragua and a few other spanish countries. My dad says that it came from a Taino name but I can't find anything anywhere to substansiate this. Any help will be much appreciated.
