Kirah Origin and Meaning

The name Kirah is a girl's name.

Kirah is a melodious feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Kira, which has roots in several cultures including Persian (meaning 'sun'), Russian (a feminine form of Cyrus), or Celtic (meaning 'dark-haired'). The added 'h' gives the name a softer, more flowing quality. Kirah might also be related to the Hindi name Kiran, meaning 'ray of light.'
