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

A distinctive Biblical place name, Kephirah could make an interesting alternative to the more familiar Keziah, Keturah, and Sapphira. Also spelled as Chephirah (and sometimes Kefeera, Kfira, Kephira, Kefirah, Kefira, and Kephyra too), it derives from the Hewrew <em>kephir</em> which can mean both "young lion" and "walled village".

It appears in the Old Testament of the Bible, in the book of Joshua, and is associated with the Israelite conquering of Canaan. It was the place given to the tribe of Benjamin.
