Kian

Kian is a masculine name with Irish and Persian roots. A variant of the Irish title Cian, Kian can translate to “ancient” or “enduring,” making it a lovely choice for a tiny tot whose inner joy and enthusiasm will always remain with them. If you want to give baby a name with a royal aesthetic, you'll love Kian's Persian meanings of “king” and "foundation." As baby builds their own legacy in the world, their name will encourage them to do it with courage and resolve. Interestingly, this moniker can be pronounced in two different ways, as The Bump community member Javad explains, "There are two equally correct pronunciations, one is the Gaelic pronunciation, like Ian with a K in front of it; one is the Persian pronunciation, like 'key'-'on' and the 'on' would rhyme with John." Though you'll be the one to choose how to say their name, your Kian will give everyone many reasons to exclaim it!
