Little dark one or dark-haired
Keirra is a modern spelling variant of the Irish name Ciara. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar', which describes someone with dark hair or a dark complexion. While the original Irish version is often pronounced 'KEER-ah', this spelling typically emphasizes the 'kee-AIR-ah' pronunciation in the United States.
