There is a SLIGHT possibility that this is a variant of the name Caitria, the Irish version of "Katharine"

The meaning of Katharine/Katherine (and its various other spellings) is uncertain. ONE possibility is "pure", based on the Greek word "katharos", though the fact that the spelling with e in the middle appears to be older suggests it originally meant something else. (The ROMANS apparently changed it to connect it with "pure".) See the other possibilities here:

But I haven't seen any clear evidence that Keitra = Caitria.

Another slight possibility is that it is a Celtic variant of Keitha / Keith, meaning "wood"

More likely, I think, is that the name is based on a West African name, perhaps from a variant of surname Keita (meaning, possibly 'worshiper'?)

One way to get an idea -- WHERE did you see this name? Was the girl an African American? In that case it is extremely like that it is based on an African original

Here is a list of names used exclusively by African Americans or that were invented or first used by them.

Although the name Keitra creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes a blunt expression that alienates others.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through worry, mental tension, and tension or accidents to the head.

Your name of Keitra has created a practical, responsible, stable nature, and you desire to direct the efforts of others rather than to take order or ask permission.

You have a determined, self-reliant, capable nature and resent any interference, although in your desire to help you are inclined to become involved in the lives and decisions of other people.

You like to make your own decisions and to be the master of your domain.

You feel a limitation in your own expression when it is necessary to reach another through tact


i really hope i helped...and give me a minute and ill get the origin
