I know someone who has this name, but pronounced 'see-AIR-ah' rather than 'kee-AR-ah'.

Ceara (said a bit like: "chah-rah") means 'wax' in Romanian. It is not used as a name there.

(As a side note, I know someone called Ceara. She spoke a little Romanian, got into the habit of saying that Ceara means 'fog' in Romanian. The word in question is in fact 'ceata' (said a bit like: chah-tah). I don't think this etymology has ever been thrown about for it by anyone else, but just a heads up).

Ceará is a state in northeastern Brazil. It isn't used as a name there, though.
