Little dark one or dark-haired
Keiren is a phonetic variant of the Irish name Kieran, which is derived from the Gaelic word 'ciar' meaning black or dark. It traditionally refers to someone with dark hair or a dark complexion. While less common than the Kieran or Ciaran spellings, it retains the same Celtic roots and gentle, approachable sound.
