Meaning & History
From the stem of adjective 煌らか (kiraraka) meaning "glittering, sparkling, twinkling." The word for "mica" or "isinglass" (雲母) is a derivation.
A single kanji which relates to the adjective can be used, like 光 meaning "light; ray, beam, glow," 輝 meaning "brightness, brilliance" or 慧 meaning "wisdom, enlightenment."
It can also be written with multiple, mainly using a ki kanji, like 希/稀 meaning "rare," 綺 meaning "thin silk" or 姫/妃 meaning "princess," and combining it with a kanji that, again, relates to the adjective, like 星, normally hoshi meaning "star," 月, normally tsuki meaning "moon," or 空, normally sora meaning "sky." The second element can be split into two, using a ra kanji, like 来 meaning "arrival," 良 meaning "good," 羅 meaning "thin silk, gauze," 蘭 meaning "orchid" or 楽 meaning "comfort, ease." The first ra kanji can be repeated with duplication or by way of the repeating mark 々 or a second different ra kanji can be chosen.One fictional bearer of this name is Kirara (雲母), one of the protagonists from manga and anime 'Inuyasha'.
