Probable correlation

---

Kira can be used as a variation of Ciara, which is the feminine form of Ciaran (from the Irish word ciar meaning 'dark'). Hence a possible explanation for the incomplete definition on babynames.

Hmm, now we don't just think, we *know* you are probably wrong

Not everything on the 'net is a reliable source of information. Babynames.com is a perfect example.

Don't trust Babynames.com for meanings! (please read)

Don't take that site too seriously with meanings. It's pretty inaccurate as far as I can tell. It's useful for some things, but I NEVER go there for meanings.

Kira's actual meaning:

---

KIRA f Russian
Russian form of KYRA -->

---

KYRA f English
Pronounced: KIE-ra
Feminine form of CYRUS -->

---

CYRUS m English, Biblical
Pronounced: SIE-rus
From Kyros, the Greek form of the Persian name Kûrush, which may mean "far sighted" or may be related to the Persian word khur "sun". The name is sometimes associated with Greek kyrios "lord". This was the name of several kings of Persia, including Cyrus the Great, who conquered Babylon. He is famous in the Old Testament for freeing the captive Jews and allowing them to return to Israel.

---

So, Kira means either "far sighted", "sun", or "lord".
