Kura is the Maori word for "red" — also for "treasure" or "precious thing," referring to red feathers prized as the most valuable adornment in Maori culture.
Kura is widely used in New Zealand.
Kura does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Kura reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
