It's the Irish Gaelic spelling of the name 'Kieran', and they are both pronounced roughly the same way. 'Cair' means 'dark' or 'black', so the name usually meant "dark one" (without any forboding conotations, rather intended as a term of indearment) and historically would have been the name given to children with dark hair and eyes, back when Gaelic was the tongue of the region. It still remains a very popular Irish name today.
BTW, it is a much more common man's name than woman's, at least in Ireland, and has only come into vogue as a woman's name in recent decades (not that this last bit is all that important, but it is part of the name's history). It was largely popularized by the canonization of a couple of 6th century fellows).
