Kiaran, of Irish origin, is an attractive and distinctive name for a boy. It is derived from the ancient Irish name Ciarán, which was borne by several early saints in Ireland. The name Kiaran is composed of two elements: 'ciar', meaning 'dark' or 'black', and '-án', a diminutive suffix meaning 'little'. This gives Kiaran the charming translation of 'little dark one'. The name gained popularity during the Celtic revival in the late 19th century but remains relatively rare, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a unique name with traditional roots.
"The name Kiaran was given to six newborns in 2011."
