Give Kiara a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Kiara's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Kiara is a variant of the Irish Ciara or the Italian Chiara, says Behind the Name. Wikipedia explains that Chiara means “bright” and Ciara “dark-haired”. Behind the Name says the singing duo Kiara brought the name to public attention with their 1988 song “This Time”.
Behind the Name lists Keira, Kiera, Kira and Kyra among its variants. It also links Kiara to the Italian Chiara and the Irish Ciara.
The best-known Kiara is Simba and Nala’s daughter in Disney’s The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, released on video on October 27, 1998. Wikipedia says the story, influenced by Romeo and Juliet, follows Kiara as she falls for Kovu, a lion from an exiled pride once loyal to Scar. Neve Campbell voiced the grown-up Kiara, Liz Callaway sang for her, and Michelle Horn voiced young Kiara.
Kiara arrived in the late 20th century. US Social Security data has it at 173rd in the 1990s and 181st in the 2000s, when more than 18,900 American girls were named Kiara. Behind the Name says it ranked 91st in New South Wales, Australia, in 2025 and 95th in Canada in 2024. Wikipedia says it has been in the US top 1,000 since 1988.
In Japan, Kiara is an uncommon name usually given to boys, says Wikipedia, though it has lately been used for girls as part of the trend for kira-kira, or “shiny”, names. Kiara Sato, a member of the idol group AKB48, writes her name with characters meaning “princess” and “star”.
Kiara’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Kiara’s Notebook” on the cover tells Kiara it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Kiara’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
