Meaning and history

Cearra is a modern spelling related to the Irish feminine name Ciara. Ciara is the feminine form of Ciarán and derives from Irish ciar, meaning “dark” or “black-haired,” with a feminine ending. Saint Ciara, also known as Cera, appears in Irish religious tradition. The spelling Cearra may reflect an English-language attempt to preserve pronunciation, but it is not the standard Irish form. Reliable prominent bearers using exactly Cearra are limited.
