What does my middle name mean?
As we all know Ciara has multiple different usages and pronunciations. But I wanted to know about my middle name, Ciara. It pronounced SEE-AHR-UH, so does it mean “dark”, “mountain range”, or nothing at all?"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day."'*•.¸♡ Have a great day/night! ♡¸.•*' Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

Pronounced that way it was actually originally the brand name of a perfume. Many people will pronounce the perfume like "Sierra" these days, but TV ads for it when it was first sold definitely pronounced it "see-are-uh".
Evidently the brand name was created from the initials of the owner of the company, Charles Revson ( C -- R-- uh).

I so I guess it means nothing at all? Thanks!

When it was created it meant "a particular brand of perfume." That's not the same as "nothing".

That is the likely etymology for how you arrived at that name.
Those three syllables can still mean something in another language.
