Gracious; ancient or enduring
Khian is a modern phonetic variant likely derived from the Irish name Cian, meaning ancient, or a variation of Ian, meaning God is gracious. It is often chosen for its contemporary sound and cross-cultural appeal. In some contexts, it is also associated with the name Kian, which has roots in both Gaelic and Persian traditions.
