Help[Facts] Re: Meaning of name "Ciarda"???
in reply to a message by Tiger196
Where did you find this name? Was it the name of a man or a woman?
Ciar, Ciaran , Ciarmacc, and Ciarnat are names found in Irish Names by Donnchadh OCorrain & Fidelma Maguire, but Ciarda is not found there. Somehow the -da ending doesn't look Gaelic to me. Ciardo, on the other hand, is an Italian pet form of Riccardo (Richard), and Ciarda could be the feminine form of that.
