Hi,
I have been looking for the meaning of this name for a long time. It was my great-grandmother's first name (Cyotha). I know that she was from Arkansas and had an Irish ethnic background. When I do Internet searches for this name I come up with a lot of genealogical records from the South, so it must not be that uncommon. I've never found it in a directory of Irish names, though. Does anyone have any clues?
