Aatira meaning
Aatira (عاطرہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
Loving perfume; (of a woman) perfumed, wearing scent
Also used to mean: fragrant
Aatira (عاطرہ) is the feminine of Arabic ʿāṭir, from ʿiṭr, the word for perfume that Indian languages also borrowed as ittar or attar. Lane's lexicon defines ʿāṭir as one who loves perfume, and gives the feminine ʿaṭira for a woman who wears or uses scent. Name lists give Aatira as "fragrant" or "perfumed", which is a fair reading of these senses. It is a different name from Aathira, the Malayalam Hindu name taken from the star Ardra.
