Ciara is a feminine name with Irish and Gaelic roots. It is the feminine version of the name Ciarán, meaning "dark-haired" or "dark-complexioned." The name has a rich history, derived from Saint Ciara, a seventh-century Irish saint who founded a monastery at Kilkeary in County Tipperary. Traditionally, Ciara was a popular name in Ireland, but its use has evolved globally, particularly in the US, where it has become a name of choice for many parents. The name's significance lies in its cultural heritage and the positive attributes associated with it, such as embracing change and having a compassionate nature.
