Meaning & Story
A variant spelling of Ciara or Sierra, the Irish name meaning 'dark' or the Spanish geographical name meaning 'mountain range' — either way a name of strong natural beauty.
Kierra is a name with two possible origins and equal beauty in both. As a variant of the Irish Ciara, it means 'dark' — elegant, mysterious, suited to a dark-coated female dog with a penetrating gaze. As a nod to Sierra, it evokes mountain ranges: high, clean, and enduring. Either way, Kierra is a name of natural grandeur, for a female dog who carries that same sense of depth and permanence. Some names age out of fashion; Kierra just gets better.
