Sapphira Meaning and Origin

The name Sapphira is a girl’s name meaning “sapphire“ and is of Greek origin. The name Sapphira is from Greek sappheiros ultimately derived from the Hebrew word sappir. Sapphira is a character in the New Testament that is remembered for lying to Peter about the profits of a piece of land she and her husband sold, their lie ultimately costs them both their lives (ACTS 5:1). We love the old-fashioned vibe of this name, which is associated with a precious stone. It makes a cool alternative to the more popular gemstone names like Pearl and Ruby.
