In Maori it means shield, darkness in Arabic, diamond in Hindi.
This is from the Maori dictionary: Hira. (noun) shield – a stiff, closely woven mat of flax worn as a protection in war, bulletproof vest.

Being a Muslim, my name “Hira” has been taken from Arabic language, which means a scared cave where our last Prophet(S.A.W) received his first revelation. Please do not get confused over different meanings of the name as there are many words in different languages that have similar spellings, but it does not mean that we will take into consideration every meaning. Muslims are well aware of name “Hira” and its importance; so, if you are a Muslim, you should better consider the meaning I mentioned above.
