History & Origin

Keiarra is a fuller respelling of Kiara/Kiarra, a name popularized in the 1990s and often traced to Italian chiara, 'bright, clear', or to Irish Ciara, 'dark'. The added letters give it a fancier look without changing the sound; the meaning is inherited from Kiara.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from the late 1980s on. A girl named Keiarra then is in her thirties now, from the height of the Kiara trend.

Did you know? Its parent Kiara is usually tied either to Italian chiara, 'bright', or to the Irish Ciara, 'dark' - two opposite readings.
