Dark-haired or black; also associated with the sun
Kiriana is often considered a modern elaboration of the name Kira or Kiera. It likely draws from the Irish 'Ciara' meaning 'dark-haired' or the Greek 'Kyra' meaning 'lordly.' In some contexts, it is also associated with the Sanskrit 'Kiran,' meaning 'beam of light' or 'sunbeam.'
