Akeira is a feminine given name rooted in the Irish Ciara—often rendered as Keira—derived from the Gaelic word for “dark-haired.” Pronounced uh-KEER-uh (/əˈkɪrə/) in English, it first appeared in U.S. naming data in the early 1990s and has since maintained a modest presence. Between 1993 and 2020, Akeira consistently ranked in the lower half of the top 1,000 names—never quite breaking into the top 500, but retaining a loyal, if understated, following. This pattern suggests a steady appeal among parents seeking a name that balances traditional heritage with a contemporary spelling variation. With its clear pronunciation and balanced three-syllable structure, Akeira conveys subtle individuality without veering into obscurity.
