Ciearra is an intriguing and uncommon first name of American origin, derived from an African-American cultural tradition. It was popularized during the early to mid-20th century among the Black community in the Southern United States, particularly in areas like Louisiana and Mississippi. The name Ciearra is believed to have evolved from the French name Cécile, which means "sixth" in Latin, referring to it being the sixth day of the week (Saturday). However, the African-American variant has developed its own unique identity and meaning within its community of origin. In recent years, Ciearra has gained some recognition outside of its traditional base, though it remains relatively rare overall. Those named Ciearra often appreciate their distinctive moniker for its uniqueness and cultural significance.
The name Ciearra experienced its peak popularity between 1993 and 2001 with a high of 18 births recorded in 1997. However, it began to decline afterward, dropping as low as 5 births in 2009. Overall, there were 247 babies named Ciearra from 1985 to 2009.
