Laira /lɛˈrə/, previously recorded as Lary poynte (1638) or the Leerie (1643), was originally the name given to that part of the estuary of the River Plym from the Cattewater up to Marsh Mills in Plymouth, Devon, England. The name may derive from the Celtic word llaeru meaning 'to ebb or grow shallow'.
