Ciara, an Irish nun who founded a monastery in Tipperary during the 7th century, also used the name as a female designation. On the other hand, two Irish saints from the 6th century were named Ciarán – Ciarán the Elder, who established a monastery in Saighir, and Ciarán the Younger, who founded a monastery in Clonmacnoise.
The alternative origin and meaning of Kyran can be traced back to its Sanskrit roots. The name is an alternative to the unisex name Kiran. It is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘kirana,’ which translates to ‘ray of light,’ ‘beam of light,’ ‘sunbeam,’ ‘thread,’ or ‘dust.’
