The name Shira for a girl
Question
Hello and blessings,
I wanted to ask two questions:
A. What is the meaning of the name Shira?
B. Is there any problem with giving this name? Is it forbidden?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom rav,
The name "Shira" is good and accepted for girls (and this is also brought in the book Yeshuot Mordechai, page 118, in the name of the GRM Eliyahu zt"l, that the name Shira is good for girls). The meaning of the name, in its plain sense, is from the language of song and melody.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
