From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ghafira (or Ghafyra; Arabic : غفيرة) is an arabic feminine given name. It is derived from arabic غفير/ غافر (Ghafir) meaning "the forgiving one".[1] This name was taken by the great Sahabi Bilal ibn Rabah's sister Ghafira.[2]

This name is unrelated to the greek name Glaphyra which was taken by an ancient Cappadocian princess.
