Hira (surname)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a Japanese surname, it is written with a kanji meaning "even", "flat", or "peace" (平); the same character is also used for the Japanese surname Taira as well as the Chinese surname spelled Píng in Hanyu Pinyin (reflecting the Standard Mandarin pronunciation).[1] As an Indian name, it can also be spelled Heera, and originates from the Sanskrit word hīraka (हीरक) meaning "diamond".[2] Hira is also a Māori surname.[3][4]
