Abaiara is a city in the region of the Kiriri people, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The population in 2020 was 11,853 people.
== Etymology == The city was first named, in 1873, "Distrito de São Pedro", as a tribute to the Brazilian emperor Pedro II. In 1938 the name was changed to "Pedro Segundo". In 1943 the city received its current name, "Abaiara", this name in Tupi means "the lord of men", through the combination of abá ("man") and îara ("lord") (still as a reference and tribute to Pedro II).
