Meaning & History
From the onomatopoeic adverb きらり (kirari), which describes a momentary flash of light, cognate with KIRARA.
A single kanji which relates to the adverb can be used, like 煌 meaning "glitter," 光 meaning "light; ray, beam, glow" or 輝/耀 meaning "brightness, brilliance," and a ri kanji, like 里 meaning "village," can be suffixed.
It can also be written with multiple, mainly using a ki kanji, like 希/稀 meaning "rare," 綺 meaning "thin silk" or 姫/妃 meaning "princess" or 祈 meaning "prayer," and combining it with a kanji that, again, relates to the adverb, like 星, normally hoshi meaning "star." The second element can be split into two, using a ra kanji, like 良 meaning "good," 来 meaning "arrival," 羅 meaning "thin silk, gauze" or 楽 meaning "comfort, ease," and a ri kanji, like 莉, part of 茉莉 (matsuri), referring to the Arabian jasmine, 理 meaning "reason, logic," 梨 meaning "pear" or 利 meaning "advantage, benefit."One fictional bearer of this name is Kirari Momobami (桃喰 綺羅莉) from manga and anime 'Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler'.
