Keira-Lea is English, Irish in Origin.
Keira-Lea is a modern hyphenated feminine given name combining Keira (Anglicized form of Irish Ciara, from Gaelic ciar “dark, dusky,” used for “dark-haired girl”) with Lea/Léa, the international form of biblical Leah (Hebrew Le’ah, traditionally “weary”; in some contexts Lea also overlaps with the English word-name Lea/Lee, “meadow/clearing”). Together it carries layered senses such as “dark-haired Leah” or “dark one of the meadow,” depending on the chosen etymology for Lea.
The compound follows a British and Irish trend of double-barrel names since the late 20th century. Keira surged in English-speaking registries in the 2000s, boosted by actress Keira Knightley; pairing with Lea/Léa soon followed. Common variants include Kiera-Lea, Keira-Léa, Keira-Leah, Kiera-Leah, Ciara-Lea, and Keira-Lia; unhyphenated or spaced forms also appear. Usual pronunciations: KEE-ruh LEE-ə/LEE.
Keira-Lea is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
