Meaning & Story
Kiera is an anglicized form of the Irish name Ciara, from the Irish Gaelic ciar meaning dark or dark-haired. Saint Ciara of Ireland founded one of the earliest Irish monasteries. As a pet name it is elegant and carries Irish heritage.
Kiera is dark-eyed and lovely — a name with Irish depth and natural beauty. It suits a dark-coated pet with a certain soulful quality: the kind of animal who communicates entire paragraphs with their eyes, who seems to carry some ancient wisdom, who is calm in a way that feels earned rather than simply temperamental.
