Chiranth (चिरंत) is a modern boys' name, used mainly in Karnataka, that name lists treat as a short form of Chirantan. The underlying Sanskrit word is cirantana, built on cira, "long". Monier-Williams gives it as "existing from ancient times", records the ancients as cirantanāḥ, and lists it as a name of Brahmā and of Śiva. Baby-name sites usually translate Chiranth as "immortal" or "long-lasting"; the dictionary sense is closer to "ancient, long-standing", so the popular meaning is a loose modern reading of the same root.
