Closely related to the Irish Ciarán, Keir is a Gaelic masculine name that means "dark." Born from the Irish ciar, Keir cuts a brooding figure who finds comfort in the deeper recesses of their mind. Mysterious and haunting, Keir may soon find pride of place adorned on a profound work of art or gothic prose to rival Bram Stoker.
