Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Arabic and Dutch. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Almira (1,821), Emira (470), Amirrah (420), Aamirah (317), Amiyrah (145), Ameirah (84), Ahmirah (62), Amierah (42), Ahmeira (12), Amiirah (7).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
