Kionn Origin and Meaning

The name Kionn is a boy's name.

Kionn is a distinctive masculine name with uncertain etymology, possibly derived from Irish or Scottish Gaelic origins. It may be a contemporary variation of names like Kian (meaning 'ancient' or 'enduring' in Irish) or Cion (meaning 'affection' or 'regard'). The double 'n' ending gives this modern adaptation a unique touch while maintaining Celtic resonance. Kionn has emerged primarily in recent decades, appealing to parents seeking distinctive yet accessible names. Its brevity and strong sound make it compatible with current naming trends that favor short, impactful names for boys. While relatively uncommon, Kionn has gradually gained recognition in English-speaking countries.
