Ciarán, Kieran, Kieren, or Kieron, (pronunciation: /kɪˈɛra:n/ or Kee-uh-rawn, with the 'uh' barely spoken; the name is Anglicised as Kieran, pronounced Kee-ran where the long 'a' of the Irish is shortened), is a Gaelic personal name meaning 'Little Dark One', 'Dark Prince' or 'Dark Haired One'.[1] Ciarán comes from the Gaelic word 'Ciar' which means 'dark' or 'black'.[2][3] Ciar can be linked back to Ciar, son of Fergus, King of Ulster.[4]It is linked with many names, like Kerry meaning Ciar's People.[5] It is generally associated with a number of Irish saints:

  • Saint Ciarán of Clonmacnoise from Connaught was the founder of Clonmacnoise Abbey in the early 6th century. He died on 9 September around 546 at the age of 32. He is buried in the remains of his little church
  • Saint Ciarán of Disert-Kieran, County Meath, called by the Irish annalists 'Kieran the Devout', wrote a 'Life of St. Patrick'. He died in 775on14 June, on which day his feast is celebrated.
