What is the meaning of the name Khiarah ?

Khiarah is Latin in Origin.

Khiarah is a modern, embellished spelling of Kiara, blending the fashionable Kh- initial with an -ah ending. The name traces to two lines: Italian Chiara, from Latin Clara ("clear, bright"), long associated with Saint Clare of Assisi; and Irish Ciara, from Gaelic ciar ("dark, dusky"), meaning "dark-haired." Thanks to these parallel roots, Khiarah can carry either sense: "bright/clear" or "dark-haired," depending on which tradition a family embraces.

Kiara-forms rose sharply in the late 20th century, especially in the United States, helped by the Disney heroine Kiara in The Lion King II (1998) and the fashion for flowing, vowel-rich names. Khiarah itself is a recent creative variant most common in English-speaking communities and among parents drawn to Arab-influenced spellings, though it is not Arabic in origin. Related forms include Kiara, Kiarra, Kiarah, Khyara, Kyara, Chiara, Ciara, Kiera, and Keira.
