Kerianna

US Popularity Rank: 11599

Origin: Irish

Meaning: Dark, black; Favor, grace

Lyrical Kerianna has roots in Irish and Hebrew as a recent enough coinage by parents seeking something fresh. This feminine name was inspired by the Irish Ciarán, an ancient name meaning “dark” or “black.” Kerianna may also be a blend of Keri, traced back to Ciarán, and the Hebrew Anna, meaning “favor” or “grace.” Dusky and elegant, Kerianna trips off the tongue as though it were a song—a name baby will undoubtedly love singing.
