Uhra name meaning
“another; the other one”
Uhra means “another” or “the other one.” Its source is Arabic ukhrā, the feminine form of ākhar, meaning “other” or “another.” Used for girls and boys in Türkiye, the name connects with the everyday act of distinguishing one object from another placed beside it, reflecting its basic meaning.
What does Uhra mean?
Another; the other one
In Turkish: başka olan; öteki, diğer
If this derivation is correct, Uhra can be understood as a name formed from an adjective meaning other or another. Its feminine form in Arabic is a grammatical feature and does not alone establish gender usage in Türkiye. It should also not be treated as a direct synonym of words meaning the afterlife or otherworldly.
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 →
