Name Root:
CIAR > Ciarán
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Gaelic “Ciarán,” meaning “little dark one” or “blacky,” from the Irish element “ciar,” meaning “black, dark.” The name is popularized by the Irish saints dating back from the 5th-century. Ciarán was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland and is considered the first saint to have been born in Ireland. However, the legend that he preceded Saint Patrick is questionable. Ciarán was bishop of Saigir (Seir-Kieran) and remained the patron saint of its successor, Ossory’s diocese.
