Keirina is in Origin.

Keirina is a modern feminine name likely created by extending Keira/Kiera, Anglicized forms of the Irish Ciara, with the -ina suffix common in Romance and Slavic languages. Ciara comes from Old Irish ciar, "dark, dusky," giving Keirina the sense of "little dark one" or "dark-haired." It also echoes Kira/Kyra, a pan-European cluster of names, which helps explain its contemporary, international feel. The -ina ending lends a gentle, Latinate cadence familiar from names like Marina and Katarina.

Usage appears sporadically from the late 20th century and grows modestly in English-speaking countries after the 2000s alongside Keira's rise. The name functions as a creative coinage rather than a historical form. Variants and near-spellings include Keirena, Keirinna, Keiryna, and Kyrina; nicknames Kei, Keira, and Rina are natural. Related choices include Ciara, Keira/Kiera, and Kira/Kyra.
