Ameerah
Girl name · 27 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ameerah: 27 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2015.
With roots in Arabic, Ameerah means “princess” or “commander,” the feminine form of Amir, and carries a regal, authoritative warmth. One of its most prominent bearers is Ameerah al-Taweel, a Saudi Arabian princess and humanitarian known for her advocacy of women’s rights and education. The name shares its root with the word “emir,” and by extension with places such as the United Arab Emirates, though no specific location is named after a bearer named Ameerah. A common variant is Amira, which is especially popular across Muslim communities worldwide, and the name has gained gentle traction in Scotland as parents embrace international choices with elegant, empowering meanings.
