Cearra Origin and Meaning

The name Cearra is a girl's name.

Cearra is a feminine name with Irish and Gaelic origins, likely derived from the Irish 'Ciara' (meaning 'dark' or 'black-haired') with an anglicized spelling adaptation. This particular spelling variant emerged relatively recently, becoming noticeable in the United States during the late 20th century. Cearra represents the modern trend of adapting traditional names with distinctive spellings while maintaining their cultural roots. The name offers a melodious quality with its soft 'c' and rolled 'r' sounds. While not among the most common given names, Cearra gained modest recognition in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly appealing to parents seeking Irish heritage connections with a contemporary twist. The name carries subtle associations with strength and beauty, reflecting elements of both its Gaelic roots and modern interpretative styling.
