Dark or black-haired
Ciaira is a modern phonetic spelling variant of the Irish name Ciara. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar', which describes someone with dark features or hair. While the traditional Irish pronunciation is 'KEER-ah', this specific spelling is often used in the United States to encourage the pronunciation 'see-AIR-ah'.
