Kiaan

Boy name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kiaan: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2021.

Kiaan is a name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the word "Kian," meaning "ancient" or "grace of God." It is a popular name in India and among the Indian diaspora, and has gained some usage in Scotland in recent years. A notable bearer is Kiaan Raj, a young Indian actor known for his work in Bollywood films. The name shares its root with the more common "Kian," which has Persian origins meaning "king" or "realm." While there are no direct place connections, the name's rising popularity in Scotland reflects the country's growing multicultural diversity, as it has appeared in Scottish baby name records since the early 2000s.
