Kira
- Origin:
  Russian feminine variation of Cyrus
- Meaning:
  "throne"
- Description:
  Though such cognates of Kira as Keira, Kyra, and Ciara are increasingly popular throughout Europe and in the U.S., this Cyrus relative has a different root. As with all the many variations of this appealing name, there is often confusion around spelling and pronunciation -- does the first syllable rhyme with ear or eye?
Kirya
- Description:
  Kirya is a feminine name with diverse cultural connections. In Hebrew, it relates to 'kirya' meaning 'town' or 'settlement,' while in Russian it could be a diminutive of names containing the element 'kir' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' In some African traditions, similar names carry meanings connected to light or blessing. The name has a modern, international feel with its harmonious blend of consonants and vowels ending in the feminine 'a' sound. Though relatively uncommon in global naming statistics, Kirya appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet melodic and easily pronounceable across language boundaries. Its brevity and contemporary sound make it accessible while its relative rarity ensures individuality.
