Daeira Δαιρα is Greek and is derived from the Greek δαο (dao), meaning “the knowing one; the teacher.” It was the name of an Oceanid nymph who was said to be the mother of Eleusis. She may have originally been a fertility goddess who was associated with the Eleusian mysteries. The name was also sometimes used as an epithet for Persephone, Aphrodite and Hera. Daira is the Latin translation and it has come into recent popular use in Latin America. It is also used in Latvia, but in this case it is not known if it is of Latvian origins or a borrowing from the same above Greek Source.
