Caira is a delicate feminine name with Celtic origins, primarily found in Ireland and Scotland. It's often considered a variant of Keira or Ciara, derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar' meaning 'dark' or 'black-haired.' In Irish tradition, it can also relate to Ciara, a feminine form of Ciar, which was the name of a 7th-century saint. The name has a lyrical quality with its flowing sounds and simple pronunciation (KY-ra or CARE-a).
