Katakana is primarily used for transcription of foreign language words into Japanese so that is not the true origin of the word. So that one doesn't fit Navycorp1.

As a female name, Kira is a variant of the name Ciara, from the Gaelic meaning "dark".

Kira (Ки́ра): Feminine form of Russian Kir, meaning "mistress, ruler."

In Japanese, it means glitter.
