Keara

Keara is an English spelling variant of the Irish name Ciara, derived from the Old Irish word ciar, meaning dark or black, typically referring to dark hair or complexion. The name was borne by several early Irish saints, most notably Saint Ciara of Kilkeary. Keara reflects the tendency in modern English-speaking countries to render traditional Irish names in phonetically intuitive spellings. Related forms include Ciara, Keira, and Kira.
