Ray of light or beam of the sun
Kiren is a variant of the Sanskrit name Kiran, which symbolizes a ray of light or a sunbeam. In various South Asian cultures, it represents the first light of dawn and hope. While traditionally used across India, this spelling variant has gained some traction in Western contexts as a modern, cross-cultural choice.
