Brave, courageous, or hero
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'vira', this name signifies a person of great courage and valor. It is a popular name in India and among the Hindu diaspora, often chosen to inspire strength and leadership in a child. In some European contexts, it can also be a Dutch diminutive of Vera, but as a masculine name, its roots are firmly South Asian.
