"Form of Shakira"
The name Shakyra is commonly a female name from the "Arabic" origin.
Shakyra is a respelling of Shakira, the Arabic feminine name built on the root sh-k-r, the same root as the verb shakara, to give thanks. The feminine participle shakira is given the sense thankful or grateful in Arabic dictionaries, and English spellings of the name vary between i, y and ee. The y spelling appears in United States birth records from 1981, which fits a respelling rather than a separate name with its own root.
