History & Origin

Cyara is a modern C-and-y respelling of Ciara, the Irish name from ciar, 'dark, dark-haired', with a nod to the related Kiara. Said with a soft opening it can also suggest Italian chiara, 'bright'. American parents adopted this spelling in the 1980s; the Irish meaning is the best-grounded route.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from the late 1980s on. A girl named Cyara then is in her thirties now, from an era fond of fresh Ciara and Kiara spellings.

Did you know? Its parent Ciara comes from the Irish word ciar, 'dark' or 'black', originally describing dark hair.
