What does Mısra mean?
A line of poetry; a verse line
In Turkish: şiirin bir satırı; dize
Mısra is a literary name that directly evokes the structure of poetry. In classical Ottoman verse, a couplet consists of two mısras; modern usage more broadly denotes a line of poetry. The historical comparison with a door leaf illustrates the idea of two corresponding parts forming a whole.
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 →
