Ciara, pronounced /kiˈɑːrə/, is an Irish feminine given name derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar' meaning 'dark' or 'black'. It is believed to have been used as a byname for girls with dark hair or complexion in ancient Ireland. The name Ciara was popularized outside of Ireland in the late 20th century, largely due to its usage in the Irish novel 'The Irish Princess' by Edward Rutherfurd.
"Ciaria had 11 babies born between 1993 and 2005."
