Ciarrah
Ciarrah Origin and Meaning
Ciarrah is a feminine name that appears to be a modern spelling variation of the Irish name Ciara (pronounced KEER-a). The traditional Ciara comes from the Irish word 'ciar' meaning 'dark' or 'black', historically referring to dark features like hair or eyes. The addition of 'rah' at the end and the double 'r' give the name a contemporary flair while maintaining its Celtic roots. This modernized spelling emerged as part of the trend toward unique name spellings in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. While less common than Ciara, Kiera, or Kiara, Ciarrah appeals to parents seeking an Irish-inspired name with a distinctive spelling. It carries the same melodic quality as its original form with an added touch of individuality.
