Cierra is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,995 in the SmartGenius statistics.

Cierra 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 Cierra - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 174 in 1997. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Cierra really in tune with her generation.
