Keir

Meaning of Keir

Keir slips into the world like a whisk of Scottish mist, its Gaelic roots—ciar, meaning “dusky” or “dark-haired”—tugging at the imagination like the first monsoon breeze teasing coconut palms. This spirited name dances off the tongue as keer (KEER), carrying a whisper of Highland mystery and a spark of unexpected warmth, much like a steaming cup of masala chai on a rainy Mumbai evening. Though in the United States it hovers in the neighborhood of rank 900 with just over a dozen little Keirs arriving each year, its rarity only deepens its allure—imagine a hidden gem in a bustling bazaar, waiting for the perfect moment to shine. Playful yet noble, Keir weaves a story of bold skies and whispered secrets, inviting every parent to embark on an adventure that spans glens, spices, and starlit dreams.
