Kirie
Meaning of Kirie
Kirie is a lyrical choice for a little girl, weaving together Japanese artistry and a fresh, Anglo-American spirit. In its homeland, Kirie (kee-REE-eh) evokes the delicate beauty of paper-cut art or the soft veil of morning mist, while in English (KEER-ee) it feels crisp and inviting—perfect for backyard barbecues or birthday parties alike. Though still a rare gem in the United States (hovering around the 900s in popularity with just a handful of newborns each year), its gentle melody and hidden depths make it feel both unique and timeless. Parents drawn to Kirie often imagine their daughter stepping into her own light—strong yet graceful, inventive yet grounded—much like a piece of handcrafted art brought to life. And if she’s the only Kirie on the playground, that individuality might just come in handy when calling her in for dinner—or for soccer practice.
