History: Ciara is the feminine form of Ciarán, meaning 'dark-haired,' rooted in the same Irish word 'ciar' that named two of Ireland's greatest early saints. The name became very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, embodying the wave of Gaelic names that swept modern Ireland. It carries the distinctive Irish pronunciation (KEER-ah) that sets it apart internationally. Ciara reflects the pride Irish families take in bestowing names from their native language and ancient heritage.
