Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
V slovanských jazykoch, najmä v ruštine, sa Kira pokladá za ženskú podobu mena Kir. To sa cez grécke Kýros spája so staroperzským menom Kúruš, ktorého pôvodný význam nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Meno sa zároveň vykladá v súvislosti s gréckym slovom kyría vo význame pani. V anglofónnom prostredí môže byť Kira aj pravopisným variantom írskeho mena Ciara, odvodeného od írskeho ciar, teda tmavý.
