Grouping is the name graph's, not a register's: two spellings join a group when the evidence links them, so a group is a claim about the records rather than about the people.

Other recorded senses●

Kiara is also recorded in 3 other lexicons, as a different name or as an ordinary word. These are senses of the spelling, not of the name above.

  • In Swedish, Chiara är en italiensk form av → Klara som också kan skrivas Kiara. Namnet kan även vara hämtat från det iriska Ciara, en bildning till mansnamnet Ciarán ’svart’. En känd fiktiv namnbärare som kan ha inspirerat är lejonungen Kiara i Disneyfilmen Lejonkungen 2 (1998) och i tv-serien Lejonvakten (2016).

Ordered by how much of this spelling's record each language holds, so a sense from a language the name is barely used in sits last rather than first.

About this data

● measured from records◐ inferred from the name graph○ machine-generated

Data snapshot . Figures are rebuilt periodically and will change.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
