History & Origin

Kiarrah adds extra letters to Kiara, the popular modern form of the Irish Ciara, 'dark-haired.' Because Kiara also echoes the Italian Chiara, 'bright,' the name playfully holds both dark and light, and Kiarrah gives it an emphatic, decorative spelling.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1999, while the base Kiara was much more widely used. Its meaning follows Ciara and Kiara rather than the doubled letters.

Did you know? A girl named Kiarrah around its peak in 1999 is still young, born when Kiara and its many spellings were rising fast on the popularity charts.
