In another story, Ayra Starr explains how she coined her stage name, references Don Jazzy’s input.

She said her stage name was partly her record label boss, Don Jazzy’s idea.

According to the singer, she coined “Ayra” while the Mavin Records boss added the suffix “Starr.”

She said before signing to Mavin, she was known as “Oyin,” a nick of her first name, Oyinkansola.

Speaking in a special Christmas interview with Arise TV, the music star said:

“There is this Yoruba name called Ira, I wanted people to pronounce it as ‘Aira.’ And I was like, the only way they can pronounce it is by spelling it ‘A Y R A.’ So, I was thinking about it and something just told me to go ‘A Y R A.’ And when I did, everything just came together: The meaning of the name, it felt like God was speaking to me.

“And ‘Starr’ was Don Jazzy’s idea. Ayra means ‘woke and open minded.’ And that’s what I want. I want to be honoured and respected.”
