Chiarah Origin and Meaning

The name Chiarah is a girl's name.

Chiarah represents a variant spelling of the name Chiara, which is the Italian form of Clara, meaning 'bright, clear, or famous.' The added 'h' gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining its melodic sound. Chiara gained significant recognition through Saint Clare (Chiara) of Assisi, a follower of Saint Francis and founder of the Poor Clares religious order. This spelling variation is uncommon but follows the trend of adding decorative letters to traditional names. Chiarah has a soft, flowing quality that appeals to parents seeking something familiar yet distinctive. While not ranking among popular names in most countries, it offers an elegant alternative to more common forms like Ciara, Kiara, or Keira.
