I personally was named aftrer the muppet, from the dark crystal, who was, in turn, named for the mythological greek nymph Korkira, who was the daughter of the River God, Aesopos.The Greek island Korkyra was named for her. It's apparantly not an uncommon greek name, spelled in different forms. From my research, it seems to be Dravidean in origin, which in turn makes it Indo-european. It's apparantly common in in the sikh religion, I have met three Kira Singhs. I've read something about the name originating from the irish saint Keelis, but I can't find the article at the moment.
I agree with not relying on baby name engines, I was told by one my name meant "princess" in Swahili, and I've found no basis for that. Also, have any of you Kira's noticed that there are more Kira's popping up every year?hah, soon we'll take over the world!
