The name Kefira is a girl's name meaning "young lioness; village".

A variation of the rare Biblical place name, Chephirah, this unique option has been occasionally used in the US since 2010. Similar in sound and style to Keziah, Sapphira, Keturah, or Kyra, it means "walled village" or "young lioness" and appears in the Old Testament as the place given to the tribe of Benjamin after the conquest of Canaan. 
 
The name may also be associated with the Arabic and Turkish kef and keyif meaning "contentment" and "good feeling". As such, some may find it too closely tied to the fermented milk drink, kefir.
