Kiyel is of Turkish origin, meaning 'king' or 'sovereign'. It's a unisex name, though more commonly used for males. The name is composed of two elements: 'ki' meaning 'sun' and 'yel' signifying 'power', thus symbolizing the power or energy of the sun. Kiyel was popularized by Turkish novelist Reşat Nuri Güntekin's 1938 novel of the same name.
"Kiyel is quite rare, with only five babies given this name across all years."
