Originating from Persia, 'Kiyan' is an ancient and regal name, meaning 'king'. It is derived from the Middle Persian word 'kēyan', which translates to 'royal' or 'of noble birth'. This name has a rich history and carries with it a sense of majesty and dignity. In recent times, Kiyan has been popularized by international figures such as Kiyan Prince, a British footballer known for his talent and sportsmanship.
"Kiyan saw a spike in popularity in 2011 with 12 births that year. However, this was not sustained as numbers dropped to 9 in 2012 and further down to 7 in 2014. In total, there were 28 Kiyans born over these years."
