Famous bearer: Keira Knightly.-- Anonymous User 8/1/2005
This is the name of a character in the popular "Jak & Daxter" video game series. (MAN I love those games!)-- Phoenix Flower 10/1/2005
Anyway I have loved the name Keira ever since I first saw a movie with Keira Knightley in it. It's such a new name but yet it has history behind it and character. It is a gorgeous name to name a beautiful little girl because it creates intelligence, beauty, spunk and talent. I would definitely name my daughter Keira.-- Anonymous User 10/17/2005
I used to like the name, but pronounced Kirra i.e. rhymes with mirror, not k-ear-ah. But now because Keira Knightly is so famous, everyone would mispronounce it, so I'm over it as a name.-- ljfraser 11/13/2005
In Wollongong, Australia there is a place called Mt Keira. It has beautiful views of the other mountains and the ocean.-- stace87 6/4/2006
Keira is an Irish name.-- FairyGirl 7/18/2006
My name is Ciara said the same as Keira (keer-ah). I find it annoying how people spell it Keira! Mine's the correct spelling, hehe, nevermind spell it how you want to.-- ciarakiki_xx 8/8/2006
First of all, it is NOT pronounced Kee-ra. It's Key-Air-ra (sort of rolling your tongue on the "air" part). It's Japanese (Romanji) and it means "Kayla". Don't believe me? http://takase.com/shop/tattoo_japanese_name_kayla.asp
I know plenty of people who are Japanese. Kayla = Keira. It's by NO means related to "Ceira" Or whatever. That's such an ugly name and I hate it. Keira is completely different. It's a Japanese name which also refers to as "Suteki" which means Lovely or Beautiful. So please, do not say it's pronounced that way.-- Kayla_Keira 8/15/2006
To the person who is so insistent it's a Japanese name, maybe it is, but it's ALSO a variation of the Irish name mentioned, in which case the pronunctiation, etc, is correct.-- Anonymous User 3/30/2007
If "Keira" were a Japanese name, it would be pronounced "Kay-ra" or "Kay-la". It's simply a Japanese spelling of "Kayla" -- which is not Japanese in origin -- and is not related to this name at all. I also can't seem to find any evidence of there being a separate Japanese name "Keira".
So, Keira is in fact pronounced "Kee-ra", and is either from the Irish Ciara or the Russian Kira.-- Anonymous User 6/23/2009
I love the name Keira - I have had it for 22 years and the only complaint is the prononciation and spelling. EVERYONE mis-pronounces and mis-spells it. The way my name is pronounced is Keer-a.
Another note - when I was growing up NO ONE had this name. Now, mainly thanks to Keira Knightly I'm guessing, there are many many Keiras out there. Pick Keira because it's a strong, pretty name. But don't pick it because it is unique.-- keiralinn 10/10/2006
Keira is English, Kiera is Irish according to this website. I prefer the spelling Kiera.-- Anonymous User 10/12/2006
It's not that it's an actual English name, it's just that it's an altered spelling from the usual Irish version; its origin is in the Irish name.-- Anonymous User 4/23/2007
Ohhhh I like Keira it's a very nice name.-- katekate87 12/9/2006
I really don't know the best way to pronounce it but the name and spelling of Keira is awesome!-- jmd27 12/12/2006
It's unfortunate that the name Keira is becoming popular. I'll admit that the only reason that I came across this name was because of Keira Knightley (an ah-MA-zing actress, if you ask me), and I'm glad that I did. The way that this is spelled is really exotic and I'm really in love with it, but it really is regrettable that it's rising in popularity. =(-- Anonymous User 12/30/2006
It always reminds me of Keira Knightley. It may be a nice name, but I think it's weird and cold. It doesn't say anything.-- Anonymous User 11/15/2007
I pronounce it either Keer-ah or Kee-rah. Rarely the latter though.-- Anonymous User 2/24/2008
The name is cool and pretty, but overused nowadays.-- slight night shiver 4/25/2008
I've heard it pronounced KEE-ah-rah and KEE-rah. Just depends on the person, really. Keys is a cool nickname.-- amishigloo 6/26/2008
Obviously, my name is Keira, and I actually love my name. It's more unique in my generaton (I'm 16), than it is now after Keira Knightley. I do not know one other person who spells their name the same way that I do, and even though people often spell it "Kiera", or "Kyra", and mispronounce it to Kara, or Ciara, I like correcting them. I pronounce mine Key-rah, and my mom likes the "Kira/Cyrus" meaning better than the "Ciara" meaning, so she says it's derived from the Russian form. :)-- randomlyKeira 9/10/2008
I like the name Keira - it's pretty, and simple and classy. I have to admit that Keira Knightley did put that impression on me in the first place, because she's such a pretty actress and all. I think she "defined" this name, and made it sound classy. (Kind of like Audrey Hepburn did with the name Audrey for some people.)
Plus, I love how British people say her name.-- RachelLee 11/19/2008
One of my favourite names, but I wouldn't name my daughter Keira because everyone would think I named her after Keira Knightley.-- Anonymous User 6/19/2010
'Keira' is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'large lagoon' or 'high mountain'.-- Anonymous User 1/12/2011
I don't like this name. I have trouble pronouncing it, and it unfortunately reminds me of Keira Knightley, an actress who I really dislike.-- bananarama 3/16/2011
Keira is a beautiful name! It has such a unique spelling and even though it's becoming way too popular, I still like it. : )-- PosieZ 5/30/2011
I like this name, but it weirdly reminds me of lions and your child will be fiesty-- Anonymous User 2/2/2012
