History & Origin

Zykira appears in United States records from the late 1990s as an inventive girls' name. It joins the Zy- prefix with -kira, echoing Kira; its appeal is the sharp, distinctive sound rather than a traceable meaning.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-2000s high. A girl named Zykira then is a teenager or young adult now; the name remains a rare, of-its-era coinage.

Did you know? The bold Zy- opening ties Zykira to a small, punchy family of names like Zykeria and Zyaire.
