Cognate forms include Urdu's Tahira, Azerbaijani Tahirə, the historical figure Táhirih (prominent in Bábí and Baháʼí traditions), and Persian Tahereh.Tahire, like other feminine variants of Tahir, reflects a cultural practice across Muslim-influenced societies where feminine names often adopt a suffix implying or directly indicating gender, while retaining the core meaning of the masculine origin. The name is most common in Turkey but recognizable in diaspora communities.Key factsMeaning: virtuous, pure, chaste (derived from Arabic)Origin: Arabic via TurkishUsage: Turkish feminine nameForm: feminine form of TahirRelated names: Tahira (Urdu), Tahirə (Azerbaijani), Táhirih (History), Tahereh (Persian)
