See AllAdd a Comment newest first oldest first highest rated first group by type Could this also be the feminine form of Keir? Just wondering. ― Anonymous User 10/4/2024 vote up1vote down Interestingly, famous bearer Keira Knightley -- who popularized this spelling of the name -- admitted on Jimmy Kimmel Live that her name is actually an accidental misspelling of the name, 'Kiera.' Apparently, after she was born, her mother misspelled the name on the birth certificate, and her parents -- most humorously -- couldn't be bothered to change it. ― Anonymous User 3/26/2015 vote up6vote down My name is Keira pronounced keer-aaIt is Gaelic/Scottish/Russian descending for the Russian name KaterinaIt means dark lord or black power and is not pronounced Ke-air-a. If that was the case it would be spelled Kiera not Keira. ― Anonymous User 10/16/2014 vote up0vote down 'Keira' is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'large lagoon' or 'high mountain'. ― Anonymous User 1/12/2011 vote up1vote down 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.aspI 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 vote up-2vote down To the user who insists this is a Japanese name: the name Keira is not a traditional Japanese name, and it does not mean Kayla. The closest approximation I can think of for Keira is Akira, meaning bright/clear (so Ki Ra = 明 亮)."Keira" (and it's variations) has has very old roots in Irish/Gaelic and derives from the word "ciar" (meaning black). Furthermore, Kayla is derived from Katherine, but may also be related to names such as Cailean (which, coincidentally, is also Gaelic). ― Anonymous User 3/26/2015 vote up3vote down 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 vote up2vote down 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 vote up2vote down Keira is an Irish name. ― FairyGirl 7/18/2006 vote up1vote down
