Sierra is a legitimate Spanish first name, but is very rare. It is a Marian name, given in honour of la Virgen de la Sierra who is venerated in the city of Cabra, in Cordoba, Spain. According to Spain's INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística), there are 345 women in Spain called Sierra, most of whom live in the province of Cordoba. The compound name María Sierra also has some use. The fact that Sierra means "saw (tool)" in Spanish (as well as mountain range) has probably hindered its popularity. Also note that according to the INE the average age of a woman named Sierra in Spain is 64.4, suggesting the name is considered rather old-fashioned.
American use of this name probably stems from the Sierra Nevada, a mountain range in California and Nevada, or other place names that begin with Sierra.
Sierra is also a fairly common Spanish surname.

To all those people above who said that Sierra was a "unique" name, listen to this: 2,416 baby girls named Sierra were born in 2006, making it the 141 most popular name for girls that year, and that's not counting all the Ciaras (1,582) and Cierras (514). It is not a unique name, people!
