Cianna

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Cianna: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2019.

Cianna is a modern feminine name with Irish roots, most likely derived from Cian, meaning "ancient" or "enduring" in Gaelic. It can also be considered a creative variation of Ciara, the feminine form of Ciar, meaning "dark-haired." Though not widely used historically, Cianna has gained quiet popularity as a melodic alternative to more common Irish names. One notable bearer is Cianna Floyd, an American soul and gospel singer who performed with her family group The Floyd Family. Another is Cianna Davison, a Scottish social media influencer and mental health advocate. The name shares its root with the Irish mythological figure Cian, the father of Lugh, and appears in place names such as Dún Cian in County Donegal. Its soft, flowing sound and Celtic heritage make Cianna a distinctive choice that feels both contemporary and timeless.
