Though such cognates of Kira as Keira, Kyra, and Ciara are increasingly popular throughout Europe and in the U.S., this Cyrus relative has a different root.  As with all the many variations of this appealing name, there is often confusion around spelling and pronunciation -- does the first syllable rhyme with ear or eye?
</br></br>
One notable thing about Kira is its longevity in the middle of the Top 1000, where it's held steady for nearly half a century. That's a long time to maintain the coveted not-too-popular but not-too-weird status.

Along with Kira, variations that share the Cyrus origin include Keera, Kiera, Kierra, Kirah, Kiri, Kiria, Kiriah, Kiro, Kirra, Kirrah, Kirri, Kirya, and Kyra.
