History & Origin

Cieara is a modern respelling that draws on two names at once: the Irish Ciara, feminine of Ciar and meaning 'dark-haired', and the Spanish Sierra, 'mountain range'. Both were fashionable for American girls around the turn of the nineteen-nineties, and blended spellings like Cieara rode that wave.

It was never common, cresting around 1991 before fading within a generation. A Cieara today is likely a young adult, and the standard spellings Ciara and Sierra remain far more familiar.

Did you know? Cieara is one of the many Ciara/Sierra respellings that crested around 1991, given to only a few dozen girls a year.
