Saikiran meaning
Saikiran (साईकिरण) is a Hindu boy's name of Hindi and Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage). By its first sound, सा, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Ray of Sai (sāīṃ 'lord, holy man' + kiraṇa 'ray')
Also used to mean: Sai's light
Saikiran (साईकिरण) joins Sai with kiraṇa, which Monier-Williams gives as a ray of light, a sunbeam or moonbeam. Sai comes from the Hindi sāīṃ, "master, lord, holy man", which Platts traces to Sanskrit svāmin, and as a name it points to Sai Baba of Shirdi. Together the name means a ray of Sai's light, and name lists give "Sai's light". It is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, often written as two words, Sai Kiran, as with the Telugu actor Sai Kiran.
