Mezra is a word name bringing together the imagery of farmland and rural life. Turkish uses the word for settlements smaller than a village, and it also occurs in place names; as a personal name, its associations come from that landscape and settlement vocabulary rather than any particular village.
The ending “-ra” is a shared final sound rather than a meaningful suffix in Zehra, Azra and Esra. Their meanings come from the whole name, not the final two letters. More girl names ending in -ra →
