Kyran

The name Kyran is a variant of the Irish name Ciaran, which is derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar' meaning 'dark' and the diminutive suffix '-an'. The name is thought to have originated as a nickname meaning 'little dark one', possibly referring to the hair color or complexion of the person.

In Irish mythology, Ciaran was the name of one of the most revered saints in Ireland. St. Ciaran of Saighir was a prominent Irish monk who lived in the 5th century and founded the monastic city of Saighir in County Offaly.

The name Kyran became popular in the United States in the late 20th century, likely due to its unique sound and Irish roots. It is a masculine name that has been used for both boys and girls, although it is more commonly given to boys.

While the name Kyran has Irish origins, it has also been adopted by various cultures and has taken on different spellings and meanings in different languages and regions.
