原My name is Ciara and I pronounce it like Kyara. I know some people pronounce it as Siara, Shara, and Kira or similar things to that— but I guess this is just the case of a name with several possible pronunciations. But then, it's also common for people to pronounce it a different way from you. So, it gets kinda frustrating when I have to painstakingly correct people each time. I think it's a pretty name (maybe mainly because it's mine), but it's annoying to have to say every single time that my name is spelled or pronounced wrong.
原I pronounce my name see-air-ah. I think all of the pronunciations are pretty. It's silly to get so defensive of how you prefer to pronounce a name. I love this spelling. If your name is see-air-ah a nickname could be cici or cia. If its key-air-ah kiki or kia.
原My name is Ciara pronounced "see-air-ah" in the English language, that how you're supposed to pronounce it. I am American, so that's how it is pronounced here most of the time.
原My name is Cíara with a fada on the I which is not too common in Ireland - but more common among northern and Western Gaeltacht regions (Irish speaking areas in Ireland). Ciara is the more common spelling in Ireland. I am Irish, live in Ireland, born in Ireland. It is pronunced key-Ra. Simple! :) My alter ego, who sometimes appears on a night out after a few Uisce beatha is called Sierra as the name stuck with friends when foreigners called me that. Nicknames people call me include, key, Kiki, CiCi and Kiwi is strangely common! All said in good spirit and humour! Key-uh-ra - nope, never ever been called that unless someone is having a laugh! Some of my foreign friends just can't get their heads around my name at all to the point where my Irish friends force them to say my name and laugh! Usually it's a mumbled ki -air-ah or ki-rah. It was only when an Aussie friend came to visit he was like omg I've heard your name like ten times since being here- I get it now! We were even in a supermarket and some other people were calling out the name Ciara looking for their friend. Before that he didn't really think the name existed! :)

原People will pronounce this wrong if you are not from Ireland.
原The reason there are a few ways of pronouncing it is because there are different dialects of Irish - for example a lot of Irish names in the Munster dialect have an extra syllable eg Seán, Niamh etc. That said, pronunciation See-air-ah is not Irish at all.
原My sister is called Ciara and I think it's a lovely name, but I know that my sister hates it when people pronounce it Sierra, when the Irish version anyway, is pronounced Key-a-ra.
原My name is Ciara (KEE-ra). I personally don't like the name, but that's just from years of having it butchered. I used to be called kee-AH-ra, kee-AIR-ah, KAR-ah, KY-ra, even CLAIRE-ah, but now I pretty much only get see-AIR-ah (which drives me crazy, everyone associates the name with the singer, who I can't stand). I live in Canada, but I know a lot of Irish people, and in my opinion, they're the only ones that can make the name sound nice. As far as nicknames go, I shorten my name to Ra. It's pretty unusual (like I said, I know a lot of Irish people and I can practically feel them cringe when I refer to myself as Ra) but it suits me.
原The original pronunciation IS and ALWAYS WILL BE KEER-ah, Where are people getting KEE-ar-ah from? That's just a bastardized pronunciation. Besides, you don't pronounce Ciarda, Ciardha CEE-ar-dah, do you? No! It's KEER-dah. Anyways, both Ciarda and Ciara are lovely names, with the right pronunciation that is.
原I was given the name via a perfume from Revlon, and I've heard it pronounced differently SO many times- like sarah or sierra, kara, key-ah-ra, see-ah-ra, see-ay-ray, ugh. Sierra and see-ah-ra are the two most common ones people say to me- my parents call me see-ar-ra, but I personally like kee-ra, which is what I understand to be the correct way to say it. I find it not only more true to the name Ciara, but more pretty and simple than the three-syllable versions. When I meet people, I usually note that they can say my name however they like- including Clara. It's something you've got to get used to!
原In TLK2 the spelling of this name was changed to Kiara, which is how I was introduced to it. When I discovered this original spelling, I instantly fell in love with it. Although I find it entertaining that they named a golden-colored lioness "Black." As for the pronunciation of this name, people who are habitually offended should not be allowed to bear it. I've had my name mispronounced numerous times. It takes very little time and effort to politely correct the person addressing you.

在这些评论中，有多少爱尔兰人必须说，爱尔兰人的发音是人们得到它之前的凯尔 - a？它不是Key-re，Key-are-a，Key-air-a，Sierra或其他任何东西。在爱尔兰土着语中，Keer-aI可能是错误的，但我很确定在爱尔兰当两个元音在一起时，只有第一个发音为：I. E Ciara = Keer-a，Siobhán= Shi-von not Si-o-von，Orlaith = Or-la not Or-lat。
原How many Irish people have to say in these comments that the native Irish pronunciation is Keer-a before people get it?
It's not Key-re, Key-are-a, Key-air-a, Sierra or anything else. In native Irish tounge it is Keer-a.
I might be wrong about this but I'm pretty sure that in Irish when two vowels come together, only the first is pronounced: I. E Ciara = Keer-a, Siobhán = Shi-von not Si-o-von, Orlaith = Or-la not Or-lat.
原My parents named me Ciara after a perfume from the 1970's - we pronounce it "See-Ah-ra". Many times people pronounce it in ways I've never heard before! I absolutely love my name - it was always so different from every other person's name around me, and still is, to an extent. However, when completely capitalized, many people make the mistake of reading my name as Clara- and then expect an older woman. The great thing about my name, for my family, is that whenever they don't know what to get me for a gift, they buy me the perfume I was named after.
原Let's just say that I strongly prefer the original pronunciation of ''kee-A-ra'' and especially the pretty-sounding ''KEE-ra''. I dislike the pronunciation of ''see-A-ra'', as it reminds me of the name Sierra, which I dislike, and the bland r'n'b singer that had success with a couple of crappy tracks back in 2005. HOWEVER, if you're going to use this name in America and pretty much any country where the name doesn't originate from, be prepared to have hissy fits and clench your fists in frustration and grit your teeth in righteous anger as people don't know how to pronounce it. It's not just an American thing, trust me. It's European. It mst be universal. People are kind of used to the idea that when a 'c' is followed by an 'i' or an 'e', it is pronounced as an 's' sound. It becomes automatic to pronounce it so, and it takes practise to remember which names and words are exceptions. Celtic is one, and it takes some time before people get it right outside Britain. So, if people are unfamiliar with the name, they WILL pronunce it wrong. DEAL WITH IT. It's automatic. Might as well spell it Kiara or Kiera, which look prettier anyway.
原I never knew the correct Irish pronunciation until I was listening to an Irish song called "Ciara" and he pronounced it: "Kee-ar-ah". When my sister who'd never heard the song named her baby Keira, I asked her if it was spelled Ciara. She looked at me as if I was stupid.
原Revlon, by the way, wanted the name of the perfume to be pronounced "see-ARE-uh", but many customers said "Sierra", which is how that pronunciation became the common one in the African-American community. Other perfume or cosmetic names that have led to baby names include Chanel, Aviance, Toccara, and Coty.
原Ciara pronounced "Sierra" or "See-ARE-uh" simply is NOT the same name by origin as the Irish Ciara pronounced "Keera" or "Kee-uh-ruh". It is a transfer from the trade name of a perfume made by Revlon that was popular in the USA, which was introduced in 1973. I haven't been able to find out how Revlon came up with the name of the perfume, but I think it's highly unlikely that they had the Irish name in mind, and that the relationship between the perfume and the Irish name is a pure orthographic accident. So there really should be separate listings on this site for the two different Ciaras, just as there are separate listings for names such as Colin, Bao, Aina, Aliyah, etc., that have more than one true linguistic origin. [noted -ed]
原Si-ah-rah/Sierra is the proper pronunciation in English, because a c in front of a soft wovel is pronounced like an s. Like anonymous said, however, is this not the case with the Irish language. So to all you people "not understanding" how anyone can mispronounce this name, it really isn't that obvious to a non-Irish-speaker.
Then again, all languages put their own spin to all names without any version being wrong. It's not wrong, it's not right - it's just different.
原Seeing as I'm Irish and actually called Ciara, I had to comment on the proper Irish version of this name. :-)
First, it's not 'Key-Rah' or 'Keer-Ah', it's 'Kir-Ah' ('Kir' to rhyme with 'Fear' and 'Ah' to rhyme with 'Da', with no stop between the 'Kir' and the 'Ah' ). So that it's pronounced 'Kirah'. The 'Kir' bit is slightly elongated as well. I hope that makes sense because when I read the comments, I actually didn't find any that made that point. I think when you see 'Keer' written it looks like it should be 'Kee-Rah' ('Kee' to rhyme with 'Key' and 'Rah' to rhyme with 'Da') which is wrong.
Also in response to Anonymous, I've never in my entire life heard of a Ciara nicknamed Kiki. Not even once and I know other Ciaras and as I said, am Irish myself. In fact the only time I've ever heard of the name Kiki was as an American nickname or as the name of a cat. No offense meant! There is no set nickname for Ciara as such in Ireland. It's whatever your friends call you: Ciar, Ciars. Anything really. :-)
In reference to the whole Ciara / Sierra thing. I think it's a case of a name being made up and spelt as it sounds, as happens sometimes in America. Such as: Mykil instead of Michael etc.
The thing with the proper Irish name Ciara is that words aren't spelt how they are pronounced in the Irish language and there is actually no K in the alphabet, hence the hard C. So that's why it's hard for people who aren't Irish to know how to say it!
原I absolutely hate it when people mispronounce this beautiful name. My sister is called Ciara and sometimes people will think I'm her (there's only two years between us and we look almost the same except Ciara's slighter smaller) and call me Ciara (mispronouncing it) and I just want to smack them. How hard can it be to pronounce a name?!
原Ciara is one of the most popular names for girls here in Ireland at the moment. I know many women and girls called Ciara, including my own six year old niece, and I have only ever heard it pronounced as Keer-ah. The masculine form of the name, Ciaran, is pronounced Keer-ran. Unfortunately Keira is becoming an alternative spelling of the name in Ireland, mainly due to certain celebrities having that name and also due a lack of knowledge about the spelling of Irish names.
原"KEER-a"? The native Irish pronunciation is "KEE-a-ra"; it should be spelled "Kira" if it's pronounced "KEER-a".
Ciara and Kira have different origins: Kira is a Russian feminine form of the Greek/Persian Cyrus, which is means "sun" or "far-sighted" while Ciara is derived from "ciar", which means "dusky" or "dark" in Gaelic; their sounds are similar but their meanings are opposites. And then there's Italian Chiara, which is an Italian form of Clara; Clara means "clear".
Counfounded English pronunciation.! As a Gaelic learner, I can't stand hearing this lovely name being mangled into "Sierra", a totally unrelated name.

原Maybe all this confusion could just be avoided by spelling it Kira or Keira or Kiera. :]
原It's just how they pronounce it. Most people don't know the meaning of their name. Maybe they wanted Sierra but wanted her to be unique! Ever thought of that?
原It SHOULD be pronounced as KEER-ah as it comes from the name Ciaran, which is pronounced KEER-en. However, this name is commonly mispronounced & misspelled. If you want SEE-air-ah, please use Sierra and if you want KEY-air-ah, please use Chiara.
These misconceptions are probably why people avoid this spelling, Kiera / Keira are easier alternatives as Kyra can sometimes be as well, although the latter may also be pronounced KY-rah.

这个名字在爱尔兰真的很受欢迎，在那里它的发音是KI-AH-RAH。 Kiki是正常的昵称。
原This name is really popular in Ireland, where it is pronounced KI-AH-RAH. Kiki is the normal nickname.
原This is an Irish name. The "ciar" prefix is pronounced "keer." Therefore, this name is pronounced KEER-uh. It is not pronounced key-AIR-uh, nor is it pronounced see-AIR-uh. It is KEER-uh, and there is no way around it.
原In conclusion: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. No matter how you pronounce the name you're bound to irritate someone or another. Why bother using it?
原It is pronounced key-ar-ah It irritates me to no end when I hear people pronounce it si-air-ah (it would be spelled Sierra if you were to say it this way). Sierra is a Spanish name; Ciara is Irish! That's why it is pronounced key-ar-ah; it is the feminine form of Ciaran which is prnounced either key-ar-on or keer-on. It is definitely not an Italian name and it certainly wouldn't be spelled Chiara. It is too beautiful a name to be butchered like this.
原I think it can be pronounced in many ways. Ki-ar-a (if you're looking for an Italian thing going on), see-ara-a (if you want to spell it like a Portuguese, Brazilian or Spanish would do). It depends on who's using it. I, personally, love that name pronounced see-ara-a because I would only spell it ki-ar-a if it was written Chiara.
原The singer Ciara's name came from a perfume that her mother often wore. The name may be Irish in origin, but to many people it looks like "Cee-air-a". No one I know would pronounce it "Keer-a" right off the bat.
原My name is Ciara and I hate it when people pronounce it wrong. It's key-ra (the way I say it) or key-a-ra but it's certainly not see-air-ra. That pronunciation really annoys me.
原Why does the American crunk music singer Ciara spell her name that way when she pronounces it Sierra? I don't think her parents knew much about the beautiful Irish name.

First, it's not 'Key-Rah' or 'Keer-Ah', it's 'Kir-Ah' ('Kir' to rhyme with 'Fear' and 'Ah' to rhyme with 'Da', with no stop between the 'Kir' and the 'Ah' ). So that it's pronounced 'Kirah'. The 'Kir' bit is slightly elongated as well. I hope that makes sense because when I read the comments, I actually didn't find any that made that point. I think when you see 'Keer' written it looks like it should be 'Kee-Rah' ('Kee' to rhyme with 'Key' and 'Rah' to rhyme with 'Da') which is wrong.
Also in response to Anonymous, I've never in my entire life heard of a Ciara nicknamed Kiki. Not even once and I know other Ciaras and as I said, am Irish myself. In fact the only time I've ever heard of the name Kiki was as an American nickname or as the name of a cat. No offense meant! There is no set nickname for Ciara as such in Ireland. It's whatever your friends call you: Ciar, Ciars. Anything really. :-)
In reference to the whole Ciara / Sierra thing. I think it's a case of a name being made up and spelt as it sounds, as happens sometimes in America. Such as: Mykil instead of Michael etc.
The thing with the proper Irish name Ciara is that words aren't spelt how they are pronounced in the Irish language and there is actually no K in the alphabet, hence the hard C. So that's why it's hard for people who aren't Irish to know how to say it!

译 “KEER-a”？爱尔兰语的发音是“KEE-a-ra”;如果它的发音为“KEER-a”，则应拼写为“Kira”。 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ciara和Kira有不同的起源：Kira是希腊语/波斯语赛勒斯的俄罗斯女性形式，意思是“太阳”或“远视”，而Ciara源自“ciar”，意思是“昏暗“或”暗“;他们的声音是相似的，但他们的意思是相反的。然后有意大利Chiara，这是意大利形式的克拉拉;克拉拉意味着“清楚”。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Counfounded英语发音。作为盖尔学习者，我不能忍受听到这个可爱的名字被碾压成“塞拉”，一个完全不相干的名字。
Ciara and Kira have different origins: Kira is a Russian feminine form of the Greek/Persian Cyrus, which is means "sun" or "far-sighted" while Ciara is derived from "ciar", which means "dusky" or "dark" in Gaelic; their sounds are similar but their meanings are opposites. And then there's Italian Chiara, which is an Italian form of Clara; Clara means "clear".
Counfounded English pronunciation.! As a Gaelic learner, I can't stand hearing this lovely name being mangled into "Sierra", a totally unrelated name.

译 也许所有这些混乱只能通过拼写它踢或凯拉或基拉避免。 ：]

译 这只是他们怎么发音。大多数人不知道他们的名字的意思。也许他们想要塞拉，但希望她是独一无二的！有没有想过呢？

译 它应该发音为KEER-ah，因为它来自名字Ciaran，发音为KEER-en。然而，这个名字通常是错误的拼写错误。如果你想SEE-air-ah，请使用Sierra，如果你想要KEY-air-ah，请使用Chiara。 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e这些误解可能是为什么人们避免这种拼写，Kiera / Keira是更容易的选择，因为Kyra有时也可以，尽管后者也可能发音为KY-rah。
These misconceptions are probably why people avoid this spelling, Kiera / Keira are easier alternatives as Kyra can sometimes be as well, although the latter may also be pronounced KY-rah.

Gianna
译 我同意正确的发音是KEER-uh，没有别的。在爱尔兰，我从来没有听说过Kiki在我18年的生活中用作绰号的名字，知道这个名字有20个人。不是粗鲁或任何人的意见，保持爱尔兰拼写的方式，它的意思。

译 我喜欢这个名字，喜欢发音Keer-ra。我认为发音像Sierra这样简单无知。显然，如果有人想要它像塞拉利昂，他们应该拼写它塞拉利昂。

译 这个名字在爱尔兰真的很受欢迎，在那里它的发音是KI-AH-RAH。 Kiki是正常的昵称。
Melusine
译 这是爱尔兰人的名字。 “ciar”前缀发音为“keer”。因此，该名称发音为KEER-uh。它不是发音key-AIR-uh，也不发音see-AIR-uh。这是KEER-uh，没有办法。

译 总而言之：如果你这样做的话，就要死了，如果你不这样做的话。不管你怎么说你的名字，你必然会刺激某人或另一个。为什么还要用它呢？

译 这是发音key-ar-ah它刺激我到没有结束，当我听到人们发表它si-air-ah（它会拼写的Sierra，如果你这样说）。 Sierra是西班牙名字; Ciara是爱尔兰人！这就是为什么它发音为key-ar-ah;它是Ciaran的女性形式，其被宣称是关键的或keer-on。它绝对不是一个意大利的名字，它肯定不会拼写基亚拉。这是一个太美丽的名字，这样被屠杀。
Mary-Rach
译 我认为它可以在许多方面发音。 Ki-ar-a（如果你正在寻找一个意大利的事情），见-ara-a（如果你想拼写它像葡萄牙语，巴西或西班牙语会做）。这取决于谁使用它。我个人，爱这个名字发音see-ara-a，因为我只会拼写它ki-ar-a如果它是写了基亚拉。
ciara_xx
译 有趣的是，它发音为kee-air-a，当我发布它像sierra。这真的很刺激，当人们试图发音它kee-air-a。

译 这是我的名字。我喜欢它，这也是我的奶奶的名字。我发了它ki-ar-a。

译 歌手席亚拉的名字来自她母亲经常穿的香水。这个名字可能来自爱尔兰，但对许多人来说，它看起来像“Cee-air-a”。没有人知道会发出它的“Keer-a”的蝙蝠。

译 歌手席亚拉是一个着名的承载者。
Siochain
译 我的名字是Ciara，我讨厌它，当人们发表错误。这是key-ra（我说的方式）或key-a-ra，但它一定不是看到air-ra。那个发音真的让我烦恼。
Melissa_14
译 我的表弟叫Ciara，Key-a-ra说，但我也听说它发音为key-ar-rar。我认为Key-a-ra是最好的。
Amesmb
译 我同意。我首先想到它是发音“see-AIR-a”通过看它，但我认为指示的发音更漂亮。
katie XX
译 为什么美国疯狂的音乐歌手席亚拉用她的名字拼写她的名字，当她宣布塞拉？我不认为她的父母很了解爱尔兰美丽的名字。
