Ciera is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Ciera is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Ciera. In the SmartGenius ranking, Ciera is #4,017 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Ciera.
Ciera is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Ciera - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 358 in 1993. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Ciera really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ciera was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for girls' names.

Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
