Kyron
Boy name · 29 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kyron: 29 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 7 births in 2023.
Kyron adapts the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name Ciaran, meaning "little dark one" — a diminutive of ciar (dark). While traditionally a variant of Kyran or Kieran, it has gained modern use as a distinctive standalone choice. One notable bearer is Kyron McMaster, a British Virgin Islands hurdler who won Commonwealth and World Championship medals. The name also appears in fiction, such as the character in the *Artemis Fowl* series, adding a cool, contemporary edge. Its sound echoes the ancient Persian name Cyrus (meaning "sun" or "throne"), though the Gaelic root remains the primary connection for Scottish families. Kyron remains rare in Scotland, offering a fresh twist on a classic Celtic favourite.
