In the dictionaries

The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.

Amaira (अमायरा) is a recent name, and we could not find it in the Sanskrit dictionaries or in any other classical source. On baby-name lists it is usually given as "immortal" or "princess". The first sense would fit Sanskrit amara, which Monier-Williams records as undying, immortal and imperishable; the second seems to borrow the meaning of the similar-sounding Arabic name Amira. Neither link is documented for Amaira itself, so it is best read as a modern, pleasant-sounding name to which families have attached these meanings, rather than as a word with a fixed etymology. It is also spelled Amyra and Amayra.
