Kyira is a modern English given name, likely a creative blend of Kyra, Kira, and Keira. Through Kyra, it traces to Greek Kyra, the feminine of Kyros (Cyrus) and related to kyrios 'lord,' yielding the sense of 'lady' or 'ruler.' In Slavic and Russian use, Kira is established as a female form with the same ruling connotations, while in Irish-English lines Keira/Kiera derive from Ciara, 'dark-haired.' Some parents also associate it with Japanese Kira, linked to 'sparkle' through the onomatopoeia kira-kira, giving a luminous nuance.
