Little is known about this alluring female baby name, but I believe it is an Esperanto name meaning "proud," at least according to behindthename.com, although it means "fair" in Italian (fair as in exhibition, not pretty) but also "proud" as an adjective and "wild animal" as a noun. As a feminine noun in Spanish it can mean "wild animal," as a masculine noun "demon" or "fiend," and as an adjective "fierce." There were no baby girls born in 2010 with this name. But that's all I know about Fiera, other than how pretty it is.
I grew up on a street that was named an Italian variant of Roger. When I got married and we bought our first house, it turned out to be on Roger Street. Once noting that coincidence, I started searching for other variants of the name. However, female variants turned out to be pretty nonexistent. Save for Roxeria, which I later discovered was the Galician female form, possibly pronounced rohz-AIR-ee-uh. That led me to a few lists of female Galician names, ranging from common to rare. Here is a sampling of names not often heard here in the states...
