Eian

Eian Origin and Meaning

The name Eian is a boy's name.

Eian is a masculine name that represents a modern variation of the Welsh name Eirian (meaning 'bright' or 'beautiful') or possibly a unique spelling of Ian (the Scottish form of John, meaning 'God is gracious'). With its distinctive spelling but familiar pronunciation (similar to 'Ian'), Eian offers parents a way to provide a unique name on paper while maintaining ease of pronunciation. The name has gained modest usage in the United States since the 1990s, appealing to parents seeking contemporary names with a subtle difference from more common choices. Eian combines brevity with a pleasant sound, making it both modern and accessible.
