Kian Given Name Meaning & History
GENDER: Masculine; USAGE: English (Modern). A variant of CIAN. The meaning of Kian is “Ancient”. Its origin is “Modern English variant of the Gaelic/Celtic name Cian”. Kian is a modern anglicized variation of the Irish masculine name Cian which comes from the Gaelic meaning “ancient, enduring”. Cian was borne by the son-in-law of the early 11th century High King of Ireland Brian Boru. Cian mac Maelmuaid assisted Brian in leading the Irish armies to victory over the Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf. In the Gaelic tongue, Cian is either pronounced KEE-an or KEEN, which is where we get the common surname Keane.
Interestingly, Kian happens to be a high ranking name in Iran. As it turns out, Kian is also a Persian name meaning “benevolent king” and an Arabic name meaning “soul, essence”. Even though Kian is a masculine name, the SSA reports the sporadic use of Kian on girls in the United States. This name derives from Irish “Cian”, meaning “long, enduring, far, lasting, distant”. In Irish mythology, Cían, also known as Scal Balb, son of Dian Cecht of the Tuatha De Danann, is best known as the father of Lug. In most versions, Lug’s mother is the Fomorian princess Ethniu, but in some versions, Cian is also known as Ethlend, hence Lug is known as Lug mac Ethlend.
