History & Origin

Kiyora is a Japanese girl's name. Its opening, kiyo, means 'pure; clear; clean' and runs through many Japanese names — Kiyoko, Kiyomi, Kiyoshi. Because Japanese names are written in characters that carry their own meanings, a name's sense depends on the characters a family chooses, not on the sound alone. Any gloss for Kiyora is therefore one reading among several, which we note honestly (said 'kee-YOR-uh').

It is very rare for girls in the U.S. Very rare here, clear-toned, and gentle.

Did you know? In Japanese, the same sounds can be written with different characters and mean quite different things. Kiyora most naturally carries kiyo, 'pure; clear' — but the writing is what fixes the sense, which we note (said 'kee-YOR-uh').
