Keira meaning

I was born before Keira Knightly by a year - the copycat. The meanings vary, dark, dark-haired, dusky, little dark one and even lady. There are different ways to pronounce it. I'm Kee-air-ah. People had trouble with it in school and still do occasionally, but they always remember me afterwards. Most women love the name and men find it inter'sting.

My baby girls name is Keira Jennifer Kruger . I named her after Keira Knightly . It really is a lovely name people keep telling me, as well as it is unique because many people havent heard of it around here in SOuth Africa :)

My daughter, Keira Elizabeth was born on 10/10/08. She is beautiful and suits her name. In her five months of life so far her name has been misspelled and pronounced incorrectly several times! I enjoy telling people how to really say and spell her name. :)

my daughter is called keira olivia . she was born in june 2016. we live in ireland and there has been alot of confusion over the'spelling. even had a teacher trying to tell her'she was spelling her own name wrong(ciara)

My daughter's name is Keira Lily Tiger Her father is Native American and I am Caucasian with Irish ancestry and looks. She came out with lots and lots of dark hair. She looks just like her father. Its' cool to see othe's with her name.

My daughter's name is Keira, pronounced Key-air-uh.

my daughters name is Keira Marie -- it fits her perfectly and i just love the way It'sounds

My grandaughter was born Feb 4 2020 her name is Keira May we love the name. People do try and tell us that we spelled it wrong.(I before E except after c - sorry!)

Im having a baby in April& this is the name im stuck on. If i do end up picking this i will have it Kiera Marie. I dont know anyone with that name & i really like.

well, amazingly my name is tamara too:D, i guess it is an okay name, i wouldnt choose it though, it has way too many nicknames that come with it like, Taa-maa-raa, tomato, tim tam, tam, tammy, tam-tam, tam-bo, tam-bo-bo-bo-bo and so on, also i get called, tinned, diced, sliced tomato and anything else that has tomato in it even'tomato soup

my grandaughter is Keiraleigh, a beautiful name for a very beautiful young lady, love the name and the child

I am a big fan of Pirates and fell in love with the name Keira. I suggested it to my daughter and my new granddaughter is Keira Ann. Yes, people have trouble spelling it but I love the name!

it think to have the name Keira you have to be unique-outdoors kind of person. It would suit a girl with brown hair, fair skin and unique blue/green eyes. It is such a nice name that It'should not be worn out by using it for everyone's name.

I named my daughter Keira Shanel she was born August 2018 and it is a beautiful name for a georgeous girl. I look and her'sometimes and wish I was as beautiful as she is...the girl is knockout at 11 months. As a side note I found two different meanings of the name...the one we use and identify with is "ladylike" which suits her to the "T".

We named our baby Hallie(as in Sallie)who was born 7th oct 2018 & most people pronounce it Hayley at first or if I tell them her name think I have said Alley....I am hoping she does'nt grow up disliking her name as we think its so beautiful just like her.

My name is Keira Rosie I Love my name! Though people often spell it 'Kiera' which I don't really like. i've only started meeting other Keira's recently, because I am 14 years old and never knew any other little girl's called Keira! But I think It's great - It'suits my indiviudality!!! Keira Rosie, 14, York

i just named my kitty Keira.. Keira kitty to be exact!

I am overdue to have my 3rd baby girl. Her name will be Keirra Mackenzie O'Connor. I can't wait and I just love how both names blend; a 2 syllable following a 3 syllable:-)

My name is Ciara but it is pronounce it like Keira!

My daughter's name is Keira, she was born in Feb 2018. I absolutely love her name. Spelling of it is always confused by people. I have not met any other babies with the name.

I have twin girls and they are Corinne Michelle and Kiera Paige (just like the June 20th comment). I love her name and another funny thing was after'she was born I saw 2 other birth announcements for Keira Paige and Keara Paige! That was in 2015 and the only other Kiera is my niece's friend, Keira. No other Corinne though!

My daughter was born in '04. I named her Keira Ashley. I have only seen Keira Knightly w/ the'same spelling. I have been searching the meaning and all I found was 'dark'. yuck, but It's a absolutly beautiful name .

I love the name its not very common .It'sounds very beautiful and not the ordinary.

my name is spelled KIERRA.and i hate when people pronounce my name like "keira"not my name..

We decide in 2003 that we would name our first daughter Keira but have had only boys since lol. We are currently pregnant again but since one of friends named their daughter Keira we have decided against the name, well that and all our children are born blonde haired and blue eyed so it doesn't really fit. But if anyone is interested in a unique way of spelling it I had chosen the spelling Keyera so that it was still a unique name in it's own way. I really hope to see it spelled that way one day I love it. Well congrats to all the beautiful little girls out there.

My name is Keira, i was born in 2002 and always hated the name but people always said how lovely it was, i like it now and yes some people do still say and spell it wrong

We named our little girl Lanier Elizabeth and we call her Lanie Beth :) We love this name and we love It'spelled like this!

My name is Keira Elizabeth born 2001 barely anyone gets it right. Keira Knightly was the first i had seen spelled the'same.

My daughter's name is Keira Alana, It's beautiful and unique just like her :) I fell in love with the name b/c of the actress Keira Knightley who is so gorgeous. My daughter was born with jet black hair and blue eyes, her hair has lightened a bit but still has striking blue eyes. It fits her to a tee. People do struggle with the'spelling but my name is Sarah and people can't spell that half the time either LOL!!

We just had a new grandson born on Thursday 05/20 and his name is Emyr Xavier pronounced (Emeer X avier) Love the name and the X pronounciation. Really, depending on the research tool you use, you'll find that pronouncing either the X or Z is correct. Especially when you study the etymology of the word from the place name in the Basque region. Why argue❤️ Both are strong and masculine and special.

My daughter was born in 2018 and we named her Keira Emily. We couldn't decide on the'spelling. My husband liked the name because of Kyra Sedgwick. I decided I liked It'spelled Keira like Keira Knightley. We love the name. It's beautiful just like her and all Keira's no matter how the name is spelled! She's got light brown almost dirty blond hair and green eyes so the meaning "dark one" doesn't quite fit her looks or personality. Kira also means glittery, or shiny, in Japanese. I also found Keira from Italian, meaning "light," or "clear & pure." The Greek word kyrios meaning "a lord" or from the Greek title of respect meaning "lady." Derived from the Persian meaning "sun." That's more like our Keira - a glittery, shiny, clear, pure, sunny little lady. Yes. Some people mispronounce it and misspell it but we just correct them. It's okay. They've even mispronounced and misspelled my name which is Stacey. We love the name Keira. We hardly run into anyone else named Keira which is great because we wanted to give our daughter a unique name instead of one that is popular. She❤️ll probably be the only Keira in her class and that's wonderful!

my daughter is keira louise, as i could not decide on her name and my sister was there when i had her, louise been her middle name. i love keira and my keira is blonde hair fair skin and bright blue eyes!!! she was born 2020.

It is my name. I love it - people often mispronounced it in when I was kid but it is more common now - I am 32. I prefer this spelling, I suppose I'm biased. The first time I saw It'spelt this way outside of my own name is Keira Knightley, which kind of bugs me.

I have a neice that was born on January 19,2019 and her name is Keira Steen, and she is so beautiful! I love the name keira and i think anybody with that name will be as beautiful as that name.

the girl i love but can never be with is named Hailey....... i think its beautiful

my name is Keira helen. i was born in 2002, so not many peopel had my anem until i heard of keria knightly who popularised it. :| nealry as common as Kate or amy now

My daughter Keira Rae was born 8/10/2019. I love the name. People do spell it Kiera, so we often have to correct them (this is the only annoying part).

So I have not found anyone with my spelling of Keira My parents named me Keira but spelled it Keria, I have called korea, key-i-ra, Key-r-ah and many other things it is hard to get use to as far as having to explain how to pronounce my name. But I love it now. Though I would probably not name my children after me. LOL

My names Kiera-Lee.I love it!!! im 18 and am told its a lovely individual name. I to often have to spell it but i just go by the rule i before e except after c.

I ALWAYS loved the name Kiera. I have No IRA at the end =) An my little girl whos now 5 is Kiera Lee I absolutely adore the name xxx

My name is Keira and I was born in 1997. Growing up I didn't know any othe's. People often misspelled it or mispronounced my name. Its becoming more popular for babies these days. I'm glad there's Keira Knightly now, because all I have to say is its pronounced just like her name!

I just met a beautiful lady called Keira and she is classy, beautiful, amazing, full of life, honest, graceful and real. Next Friday, will be my 3rd date and she puts butterflies into my stomach. This is my first Keira I have ever known and what a great name that follows a wonderful person.

I absolutely love this name! My husband and I decided awhile ago that we will be naming our second daughter due next month Keira Paige...I know people are going to misprounounce and mispell her name...my in-laws already do..they're saying Kara❤️❤️❤️

My daughter was born April27th, 2019. Her name is Keira Elizabeth, people absolutely love it! Her pediatrician has never had a Keira as a patient. I love the originality! and she is beautiful, it really suits her.

has anyone heard keira being spelt ciara

My name Kira and you porunce like KEE-RAH and that's is the best way to spell but I don't recomend you naming your kids that

My name is Keira Rosie and I hate the way that I have to spell it out all the time. Everyone always wrIt's it as 'Kiera' - even members of my own family! This happens so often'that at one point I was going to change the'spelling! I'm glad that more and more little girls are being given'the name Keira - it used to be so unusual - especially before Keira Knightley became an international movie star!

my names keira people splell it in alot of weird ways

My daughter's name is kiera anne, her father is irish, so I wanted her to have a name that was irish, so I chose kiera, I swapped the 2nd n 3rd letters around, there all sorts of ways to spell her name, she is sooooo beautiful, big bouncy curly hair n dark chocolate eyes, she is my beanie n I love her and her name, more importantly she loves her name, she is 6 yrs old now xx

I am going to name my baby girl Keira Maeve when I have her any day now. I love it and think it is beautiful just as I imagine she will be.

My name is keira and often people pronounce it wrong, so here's a tip on how to say it, shakira with out the'shaa. :)

I like it spelled KEIRAH so it is pronounced KEY-RAH. not KEY-AIR-AH. LOL If I do have a girl her name will be KEIRAH CHRISTIELLA. The middle name is derived from my two very best friends, Christina and Gabriella. ; ) My family loves to make their own names. My nephews middle name is derived from my three brothers' names, Tino, Javy, and Eli. Its. TINJAVELI. Pronounced TEEN-AH-VEL-EE

keira is my baby neice shes absolutly adorable n shes propa cute (o^-^o) ^-^ =P my best mate absolutly loves her [x] WAOH.

I love the spelling Kyra

I have a niece born was born March 2018. She's named Keira Skye, and I love it! Those two names together are so pretty.

Keira Knightly really bugs me too given'that'she's younger than me and i got so much hassle when i was a kid (especially for the'spelling of keira, the whole i before e thing!) but now i love it but its sudden popularity drives me mad!

i love this name i am mixed race and im naming my daughter Keira Skye :) so she will have such a unique name

i waited to have a baby girl a long time and the moment she was born i knew she was keira and she is the happiest baby in the world always smiling so its def a beautiful name for a beautiful girlxx

my name is keira and it is spelled K-E-I-R-A some people just do it differently.... it makes me soo mad when'they tell me im wrong. the worst someone has ever pronounced my name is core-ee--uh like korea...i have no idea how they got that from keira but whatever. i say it like the actress... there is actually a news anchor on our local news named keira and she'spells it the'same way...ive met other people with th namebut not the way i spell it. honestly i dont like it when'they spell it with a y like kyra because it just doesnt look right and then i understand why people misspell it... nothing against it i just think my way is better:)

My child's name is Keira Nicole. She was born Feb/2019. She is beautiful and already exhibits her own personality. I called it her "diva" attitude.

My daughter was born in March 2020 and we just loved the name Keira. It'suits her and everyone comments on her name. Her full name is Keira Elizabeth Her middle name is the'same as my middle name. people do have trouble with speeling keira and always spell K.I.E.R.A and we have to spell it out but i have found people cant spell my name and i have to spell that for them Sarah - S.A.R.A.H

My name is Keira and people love misspelling it and misspronouncing it just to get on my nerves. I'm in 7th grade, and I do like my name alot because It's very unique and i've only met one person with the name of Keira in my Virginia homestate. People will call me "Kiera" or "Kyra," and I wont even lie, it bothe's me. My teacher once got really mad at this kid who was calling me Kyra, because she knows that it bothe's me and so do they. I'm a light-brown/almost dirty blonde haired girl with brown eyes and I'm quite popular. It's a beautiful name. When I get older I want to have a daughter named Laken, because I think It's a beautiful and unique name like mine.

My daughters name is Keira Jade and she was born August 23rd 2016. I thought it was original. Now every kid I see's name is Keira. Rather unfortunate.

Also the name of a small mountain near Wollongong, NSW, Australia

My name is Keirra,again spelt with two r's instead of the one, again at school teache's used to spell and pronounce my name wrong all the time becuse of the i before e thing, I got called Ki-era alot, but I love my name as people still say wow what an unusual name even'though it has become more popular over the last few years and I still get asked what it means and It's origin :0)

my grandaughter is Keiraleigh, she is a blue-eyed blonde and quite stunning, have been looking for the meaning and the Irish dark just didn't fit, found in Italian Keira meand light, clean and pure and another meaning is princess, the Japanese meaning is glittery or shiny, and a different meaning for Leigh is beautiful woman, my grandaughter is cetainly a beautiful princess. She is the only keiraleigh in her'school and thinks that is pretty cool.

Keira Jayne was named after my male cousin Keiron James. They changed his name after much confusion, but I always loved the name, and when I saw Keira as a girl's name it was the only one we would have. We like the longer'sound 'ee' rather than the'shorter 'i' sound as in Kirra. She has to spell it all the time. But that's ok, it gives her a chance to chat to people!

My daughters name in Keira Jade.She was born on 25th April2017 and she is georgeous It's such a beautiful name.

My name is Keira Leigh-ann born May 1998 :) love my name and would love to name my future children something also unique

My name's Keira, people always spell or say it wrong. They would spell it like Kiera, Kyra or Kira. There's a saying that i like saying when people spell it wrong, The first vowel does the talking the'second does the walking. But, even so i still love my name, especially cause i don't know anyone with the name Keira(i know there are people named Keira, i just don't know them).

My name is Keira. My middle name is Kathleen, and this is a very uncommon name. People spell my name wrong a lot

Our daughter was born in 2016 and we spell her name Kiera. We love the name, but people always try to pronouce it Kierra (like Sierra with a hard K)

Well my name is Keshia the only problem I have with it is not only was my mom naming me keshia but everybody ele's mom was giving them that name'so its alot of us out here. People always wanna spell my name like this "keisha" I hate it. And all keshia's are known and very popular well most of them ha-ha

My name is Keira ! Im doing a school project all about my name and i have found out loads ! I was born in 2010, and I'met my best friend when i was born ( i don't remember that) And she is called Keira too and was born a day before me ! I love this name alot x

my name is Keira and i was born in 1991 after my mother's cousin who's name was Keir I was supposed to be a boy and be named Keir but since I was a girl my mother put a(a) at the end of Keir and thats how I became Keira.

My daughters name is Keira emily soraya. The name is beautiful just like her.Our main problem seems to be that people confuse the'spelling and often put "i" first. Otherwise,we're very happy.

people spell it wrong some time and kiera is a pretty name and i wane change uut for anything

we named our beautiful daughter macy. everyone says what a pretty name it is. it is a pretty yet confident name. i have meet a few macys. i dont think it is that rare in australia.my husband and i love it!

My name is Keirra Rhian, it is spelt with 2 r's, and i have never'seen anyone with the'same spelling. Both my names are very unique in Australia, and when i was younger i hated it as everyone spelt it and pronounced it wrong, but as i grow i am beging to love it.

Our daughter is Keira Emma- she is delightful and so is her name.

we named our daughter Kelsea we love it is so feminine and she is only 5 months old but everyone says it wrong or spells it wrong

I'm really surprised to see two other people with comments share my daughters name.... except the'spelling. She's Keira Lee, and just turned three. Most people tend to say it right, but I am always spelling it. That and the fact that the poor baby has a 17 letter long, hyphen'ted last name!

My daughter is dur in April2020. Keira Michell....

Name Experience: Daughter's name, born in 2016. Descent: Irish, from Ciara, meaning "dark-haired." Pronunciation/spelling: Most people can pronounce correctly (Kee-ra), but some say Kie-ra, some say Ki-era. Spelling is all over the place, but usually Kira. Othe's with name: A few, It'seems to be growing in popularity. Most young people really like her name, whereas people ~40's+ haven't heard of it. We love her name and think It's strong yet feminine--a very versatile name.

Keira is my daughter's name. she's 2 years old and i hate when people prounce her name Kiera.

My daughters name is Kierrah Elizabeth pronounced (key-air-ah). I love the name its beautiful. The meaning is dark haired and she came out with a head full of dark hair =)

My name is Kierra. I like the name because it is very universal. The Name Kira is latin and means light. The name Kiera seems to have both Galic and Turkish origins. In Galic it means dark or little black one. In Turkish it can mean: Sun; far sighted; lord; shiny; or light. I have also read that the name Keira has teutonic origins and means ever regal. The japanese and Nigerian version of the name, Akira (is often a boys name) and means intelligent; bright; or clear. I prounounce my name Kie (Kair) rra (ruh).

I like girls to have long "legal" names that can be shortened (Deborah to Debbie, for instance) My husband and I named our oldest girl Kieriana. It's pronounced Keer-ee-ANN-uh but we call her KEER-uh. I debated about the Kie... or the Kei...spelling and I went with Kie because it is; after all the feminine form of Kieran! My daughter is 17 now (ouch!) and she likes her name.

My name is also keira but mine is spelt "KIERAH" i do like my name becuase not many people have got it. there is no one else around where i live called kierah which i like =D when im at school and the teache's are calling ou the register, if its a teacher that doent know me there normally say "KIERAN" lol..

my middle name is Kiera and i love it. I wish it were my first, its spelt kiera. i before e except after c and the'same as kieran would be. So i think thats the correct spelling, but anyways fine! im glad i got my name before keira knightely was famous, so im a bit individual as im the only one i personally know. Beautiful name! x

i was also named keira after the movie xanadu.never heard the meaning dark before .i have fair skin blonde hair blue eyes.i usually get comments saying i look like the'singer ke$ha who sings tic toc.but i love my name but no one spells it correctly,plus i dont have a middle name'so make me different

My mum named me after kira- olivia newton johns character in Xanadu, except she liked it with the e before i so im keira born in 2004 so glad that people like this name, i think its very pretty myself

My son wants to name is daughter Keira. I am warming up to it.

A lovely name but would be a headache for othe's to spell considering it has many spelling variations.

My daughter's name is Keira. She was born in July 1994. She grew up as the only Keira in her'school. Now, there are quite a few girls named Keira, after Keira Knightly and Kyra Sedgwick. She didn't like the name at first, but by junior high, she liked being known as Keira. Everyone knew who she was, even without a last name.

I named my daughter Kiera Elizabeth. I ended up spelling it different than actress Knightley by mistake. But the more I read the correct gramatical spelling is K-i-e-r-a not Keira. I have not met any other person with that name except for the two movie stars.

My name is Keira. I was born in 1988 and have never met another person who spells their name like I do. The first time I heard of someone else spelling it "Keira" instead of "Kiera" (which looks wrong to me) was when Keira Knightley became famous. x

My name is Keira. I am 14 years old now so the name Keira was very rare when my mum chose it. However i am Not too happy about it becoming increasingly popular as you can imagine.

I named my daughter Keira Renee, born September 13th, 2018. I always tell people how to spell it almost before they can ask. But I just love the name.

Our american staffie who sadly passed away recently was named Keira. She will be missed but lives on in our hearts. She truly was something special

I named my daughter Kiera Lily. I loved the name as soon as I heard it. Turns out what I thought was a unique name has been so popular this year!

I love this name!! It sounds so cute and innocent. I've only ever met one other Keira. My husband and I want to name our coming daughter Keira but can't come up with any good middle names!!

it is my first grandaughter and I have never heard of the name but its magic and we do spell it keira

My name is Keira. Im in grade 7. all my teache's spell my name Kiera. But other than that alot of people say my name is beautiful

I have 2 daughters already Eden and Ava and am pregnant with my 3rd, and I love the name Keira Grace.

We had our daughter on February 26th 2020 and we named her Haley. When we saw her we knew she just looked like a Haley. It is such a gorgeous name.

Keira is a wonderful name my name is Keira Maqungo I was born on the 6 of December there is lots of people named Keira .

My name is Kiera Elizabeth as well! I was named after 'Kira' from the movie Xanadu, but my parents like It'spelled with an 'e' better' Sadly NO ONE says my name right the first time. They say 'key-air-uh' instead of 'keer-uh'. But I love my name very much!

I named my daughter KEIRRA in 2000. Only name I considered! didn't know origins, meanings, or anyone else with the name. Fits her perfectly!

My name is Keira. People have spelled it just about every way you could think of, and ways you wouldnt. (Keyrra, what is that❤️!). Its different and I dont hear it often. Its pronounced just like Keira Knighlty is. :)

My daughters name is Keira Mackenzie, she was born October 2012! Love it!
