Ciara
Ciara is a female name of Irish tradition, also associated with an early medieval saint. It has a short, two-syllable pronunciation, which a Slovak reader might not correctly deduce from the spelling. When used in Slovakia, it therefore helps to explain its original pronunciation; the vowel ending 'a' allows for regular Slovak declension.
