[edit]Etymology
[edit]Coined by Brazilian writer José de Alencar, as the name of a character in Ubirajara. Navarro derives it from Old Tupi eíra (“bee”) + sy (“mother”), making it a doublet of Iraci.[1] Since she's called “star of the day” through the story,[2] it could simply be a clipping of Old Tupi kûarasy (“sun”).
The city was named in 1904 after the character.[3]
