Beautiful; variant of Sapphire or Saphira
Saphera is a rare modern elaboration of the name Saphira, which is derived from the Greek 'sappheiros' referring to the precious blue gemstone. It is often associated with the biblical Sapphira, though the 'e' spelling gives it a more contemporary, fantasy-inspired feel. The name evokes imagery of deep blue skies and sparkling jewels.
