Meaning and history
The meaning of Yadira is unknown, though it may derive from an Arabic name. It has been used in Mexico since at least the 1940s, possibly inspired by the Colombian actress Yadira Jiménez (1928–?), who began appearing in Mexican films in 1946.
Yadira moved from #752 to #870 for girls between 2008 and 2009. Its highest annual birth count came in 2005, with 593 births.
