message: I've just removed this unfinished section from the article:
:The Japanese name "Kira(キラ in katakana)" is common in the fiction of that language. The name literally means "light" or "shininess" and may be interpreted as implying that a given character is good. However, 
At least the second sentence seems redundant. --zenohockey (talk) 20:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I have edited that Kira is of Sanskrit, Persian and Egyptian origin. I have a photocopy of an old book where I took most of the edits I made from on this name, however I do not have the original title of this book.

message: I don't know wich troll has come with this. (at least his source is not viable). But Kyra has a very bad meaning in Persian; It means his/her dick.... So I'm going to remove it.

replies: text: The Persian word "kir" has that meaning; a citation for that was moved to Talk:KIR. I have tagged the dead link for "Kyra" in this article. – Fayenatic London 12:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kira has a very bad meaning in Persian 

message: several edits have been made disputing the removal of male characters for whom Kira is a family name. Kira may also be a family name for some of the female characters, but they have not yet been removed on that rationale.  
To resolve both these issues I propose moving the page from Kira (given name) to Kira (name). Then all the characters can be retained, which will be most helpful in English Wikipedia. – Fayenatic London 22:09, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I notice in the infobox it says that Kira is a mostly female name. Is there a source for Kira being used as a boy's name?
