If your little one boasts dark features or radiates the charm of a freshly bloomed garden flower, consider the girl's name, Kerria. Linked to Irish names Kerry and Ciaran, Kerria is a rare jewel that will set your child apart. Stemming from the Irish word ciar, which means "dark" and is often associated with complexion, it is a beautiful tribute to baby's heritage. As a fragrant bonus, an oriental flower named Japanese Kerria is a yellow shrub belonging to the rose family. Named after the esteemed Scottish gardener William Kerr, this blossom graces mountain slopes and gardens across Japan, China, and Korea and is particularly sought after for its healing properties.
