Gasira

Gasira is a journeyed name with an ancient history. It started as the Arabic word gezira (also commonly transliterated as jazira and jazeera), meaning "island," and sometimes "peninsula."

Somalia and the Arabian Peninsula (jazīratu l-ʿarab) have long been connected — first via the Silk Road in the 2nd century BCE. The cultural exchange between the regions included language, of course, and gezira became a familiar term on Africa's eastern coastlines.

The name of the island nation Madagascar is derived from the Greek Madai Gesira, later Madai Gasira, ultimately from the Arabic gesira al malai, meaning "island of the Malagasy."

It is unclear exactly when Gasira evolved into a name. It may be influenced by the Swahili word jasiri, meaning "brave." Today, Gasira is a rare but familiar name among Somali speakers, typically used in Somalia and Kenya.

Lucky

Gasira lucky number is 1.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
