Kiaan meaning
Kiaan (कियान) is a Hindu boy's name.
Meaning today
Grace of God, king
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Kiaan (कियान) is a modern Indian boys' name. Indian baby-name lists usually give it as "grace of God", and others as "king" or "ancient". We could not find the name in the Sanskrit or Hindi dictionaries, so none of these meanings can be traced to a source. The "king" sense comes from sites that connect Kiaan with the Persian name Kian, and "ancient" from sites that connect it with the Irish name Cian; neither link is shown to be how the Indian name arose. One site calls Kiaan a name of Krishna, for which we found no support. Kian and Kiyan are other spellings.
