Afeera is an indirect Quranic name for girls that refers to a type of gazelle. It is a modern-day variant of Ufairah, people use it out of love for Ufairah al-Abidah, a famous ascetic woman. Afeera is derived from the AIN-F-R (“dust”, “power”, etc.) root which is used in the Quran in verse 27:39.
A powerful one from among the jinn said, “I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy.” (Quran 27:39)
