Kaira meaning
Kaira (कैरा) is a Hindu girl's name.
Meaning today
Beloved, peaceful
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Kaira (कैरा) is a modern name, close in sound to Kiara and Kyra. We could not find it as a word in the Sanskrit or Hindi dictionaries. Name lists most often give its meaning as "beloved" or "peaceful", and they disagree on where it comes from, suggesting Sanskrit, Greek or Arabic roots without evidence. We therefore show those meanings as popular ones only. The Sanskrit name Kairavi, "moonlight" (Monier-Williams p. 311), is a separate name with a similar sound.
