About Sierra
Sierra is a name borrowed from the western mountain range, with Latin rhythm and cowboy charm, that has led to many offshoots: Cierra, Cyara, and so on. It is now probably past its peak but retains its pretty-yet-strong sound. The meaning refers to the sharp, irregular peaks of some of the Western mountains such as the Sierra Nevada.
Pronounced see-AIR-uh.
As of October 2026, Sierra ranked #616 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #49 in 1999, Nameberry popularity #690.
