Jakirra
Meaning of Jakirra
Jakirra exemplifies a contemporary Anglo-American feminine given name whose precise etymological lineage remains elusive, yet which may be understood as a creative elaboration upon established forms such as the Gaelic Ciara or its variant Keira, effected through the prefixal “Ja-” and the trisyllabic configuration -kirra to produce a balanced phonological profile (juh-KEER-uh, /dʒəˈkɪrə/). Social Security Administration data reveal its rare but persistent presence in the United States: an initial appearance in 1998 with six recorded bearers (rank 873) followed by similarly modest frequencies in the mid-2000s—six instances in both 2005 (rank 940) and 2006 (rank 961), five in 2007 (rank 983)—and a slight resurgence to eight occurrences in 2009 (rank 954). These statistics not only attest to Jakirra’s status as an uncommon choice but also reflect a broader turn within late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century naming conventions toward novel, phonetically distinctive appellations that confer upon their bearers an understated sense of individuality and modern elegance.
