Kiara

Princess Kiara was the daughter of Simba and Nala in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. As a child, Kiara befriended Kovu, the son of Zira, who was a follower of Simba's evil uncle, Scar, but they were forbidden from contact. Years later, when Kovu 'saved' Kiara from a fire set by his siblings, he was allowed to return to Pride Rock. Kovu fell in love with Kiara, and abandoned his mother's mission of revenge. When Zira and the other banished lions attacked Pride Rock, Kiara and Kovu threw themselves between the warring parties and urged them to reconcile. Although Zira refused, the rest of the outsiders rejoined the pride, and Kovu and Kiara were later married.

Kiara is a variant of Ciara, the feminine form of the Irish name Ciar which means 'black.' Kiara was the 353rd most popular name for girls in 2014.
