History & Origin

Kierrah is a dressed-up spelling of Kiera and Kira, feminine forms of the Irish Kieran. The name comes from 'ciar,' 'dark' or 'black,' with a tender diminutive sense. Popular Irish-inspired names of the later twentieth century inspired many such spellings, and Kierrah is one of the rarer, doubled forms.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its high around 1996. A girl named Kierrah then is a young adult today.

Did you know? The Irish root of Kierrah, 'ciar,' meaning dark, is the same one behind the boy's name Kieran, its masculine counterpart.
