Origin: Irish

Meaning: Black; Little dark haired one

Keiran is a modern version of the traditional Irish name, Ciarán. This Anglicized reimagining means "black" or "dark-haired one," which may be fitting for your raven-haired baby boy! Kieran Culkin has certainly put this classic name in the spotlight, thanks to his starring role as the witty and bitingly sarcastic Roman Roy in the Emmy-winning show, Succession. He may spell it slightly differently, but the sentiment and sound remain the same. Whether you wish to honor your Irish roots or your favorite television show, or you simply like the idea of a name with a distinctive “K” sound, this one is for you!
