Background Story
Keiran is a variant of Kieran, one of several anglicisations of the Irish name Ciarán, which is formed by adding a diminutive suffix to ciar, meaning "black" or "dark". Ciarán is a traditionally male given name of Irish and Scottish origin, and the masculine version of the name Ciara. The name became common in reference to Ciar, son of Fergus mac Róich, who gave his name to the Ciarraige and County Kerry, and to two early Irish saints, Ciarán the Elder and Ciarán the Younger.
