Almeara is a historical name that was used back in the Sassanian Empire. Astronomical events had big importance in the Sassanid people's lives, as well as fire. Therefore, they named the redness of the lunar eclipse Almeara. In their words, 'Almeara' was the name of the colour of fire during the lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse is also really important for other historical events, such as the conquest of Istanbul. As well as 'Almera' being a female name in Arabic cultures, Almeara is an old name used mostly for males in noble families for of the Sassanian Empire.

Importance of moon was shown at the message Zoroaster has received from Mazda. In verse 3 of the litany to the moon, Gavaevodata is invoked as (or together with) the "bovine of many species" in the care of the moon Mah, specifically måŋha- gaociθra- "the moon that keeps in it the cithra of cattle," which is a stock epithet of Mah.

In the context of the Sassanian Empire, "Cithra" likely refers to the term "^[1]" or "Khwarah," which was a concept denoting divine glory or fortune. The Sassanian kings considered the Khwarrah as a symbol of their legitimacy and power. It represented the divine favor or grace bestowed upon the rulers, and it was often depicted as a halo or radiance around the king in artwork or inscriptions. The concept of Khwarrah was significant in Sassanian ideology and conveyed the divine right and fortune of the rulers.
