Tahira: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1975.
Rooted in Arabic, Tahira is the feminine form of Tahir, meaning "pure" or "chaste" – a name with deep resonance in Islamic tradition. Notable bearers include Pakistani politician Tahira Khan and actress Tahira Asif, both celebrated figures in South Asian culture. While no major geographical place carries the name directly, the root also appears in places like Tahir in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The spelling variant Tahirah is common in English-speaking Muslim communities, and the name has gained quiet popularity among Scottish-born families seeking a name that combines melodic sound with spiritual significance.
