Meaning: ancient, enduring one
Cian is a popular Irish boy’s name of heroic proportions. In Irish, Cian means “ancient” or “enduring one,” an auspicious name for baby to bestow on him a long and prosperous life. Another reason for the meaning could be that Cian comes from ancient Irish mythology. He was the son of Dian Cécht—the god of healing and the physician of the Tuahta Dé Danann—and was a shapeshifter who could turn himself into a pig. If you have an interest in Irish mythology or want to pay homage to your Celtic roots, then Cian is an excellent choice.
