History & Origin
Sierah is a respelling of Sierra, the Spanish word for a mountain range, which caught on as an American girl's name during the nature-name vogue of the late twentieth century. This variant kept the sound while trading the double-R ending for -ah.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its modest peak around 1996, well behind mainstream Sierra. A girl named Sierah then is about thirty now.
