With Arabic origins, Amirah is a girl's name with the cute meaning of “princess.” A variation of the boy’s name, Amir, Amirah also means "commander" and "leader" and is widespread across the Muslim and Arabic world. However, it only first appeared in the American female baby name charts in 2006. Since then, it has remained in the lower half of the charts never really gaining popularity.
