Kirena is Hebrew in Origin.
Kirena is a modern feminine given name with layered, cross-cultural roots. It is most often read as a blend of Kira (linked to Greek Kyra “lady; noblewoman,” and also a Slavic short form related to the Kyr-/Cyr- family) and Irena/Irene from Greek Eirene, “peace.” The spelling also echoes Kyrene/Cyrene, the Thessalian huntress of Greek myth and the ancient North African city of Cyrene, lending the name a classical association without a single fixed origin. Together, Kirena can be interpreted as “peaceful lady” or “peaceful ruler.”
Documented usage is recent and rare, appearing mainly from the late 20th century in English-speaking and Slavic-influenced communities as a distinctive alternative to Irene, Irena, or Kira. Variants and near-forms include Kyrena, Cyrena, and Kirina; related names are Irena/Irene and Kyra/Kira. Nicknames and diminutives include Kiri, Rena, Kira, and Rina.
