<<My step-grandfather was Russian, and my mother gave my brothers and me Russian names. It's actually of Greek derivation, originally, meaning "blessed". Thanks-I hope your daughter enjoys the name! There seem to be more Kiras around of late, although when I was growing up, I was the only one I had ever heard of!

Interesting background--I knew the novel was set in Russia, but I was led to believe from other sources that the derivation was Persian, meaning "sun". I like "blessed" a lot more! Kira loves her name, but does NOT like the idea that Kiras are popping up all over the place! She's 20, and used to feel like the only one. Our other daughter's name is Bryn, and the same thing seems to be happening....
