Kyren
Boy name · 28 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kyren: 28 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 8 births in 2025.
Kyren is a modern name with several possible origins, most likely a variant of the Irish name Ciaran, meaning "little dark one" from the Gaelic *ciar* (dark). It may also be a respelling of the Welsh name Ceren, meaning "love," or a creative take on the Scottish place name Kyle. The name gained visibility through Kyren Wilson, the English professional snooker player who won the World Championship in 2024. There are no major place connections, though the similar-sounding Kyle is a common Scottish place name from the Gaelic *caol* (narrow strait). Kyren remains a rare but rising choice in Scotland, often chosen for its modern, crisp sound and subtle nod to Celtic heritage.
