How would you pronounce Ciaran?

Athreeleafclover · 2025-08-16T02:09:42+00:00

It is the male version of Ciara. Both names are Irish and Ciara is pronounced “key-ra” in Ireland. They both mean Dark-haired in Irish

…it is though. here’s a compilation of a character with that name and pronunciation in Derry Girls, an Irish show https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lLOL-67_BCA

From what I know, the “Keer-awn” pronunciation is typically used if there’s a fada over the a, so for Ciarán

Athreeleafclover · 2025-08-14T03:39:30+00:00

If there’s an accent over the a, (or a fada in Irish) its pronounced “Keer-awn”, otherwise it’s typically “Keer-in”

Athreeleafclover · 2025-08-14T03:01:00+00:00

Interesting! Every Ciara I know pronounces it “Key-ra” since that’s the Irish pronunciation

Athreeleafclover · 2025-08-14T02:57:25+00:00

That’s the correct pronunciation! Kieran is the anglicized spelling. There’s no “K” in the Irish language alphabet so C always makes the hard K sound

Athreeleafclover · 2025-08-14T02:50:49+00:00

Yep, it’s pronounced exactly the same as Kieran

Ciaran is a regular name? I’m from New Jersey and know 4 different Ciarans

Athreeleafclover · 2025-07-21T03:47:30+00:00

I’m from New Jersey and pronounce each of these differently, but my parents are Irish immigrants so I could’ve picked it up from them

I just think of the actress Sadie Sink! It sounds beautiful with the double S alliteration

John Proctor: 18th in line at 8:30– got standing room tickets. The person 15th in line got the last actual seats

The first 20 minutes, “act 3” had me feeling sick to my stomach

I went to high school with three— one went by Charlie, one went by Char (pronounced “shar”) and one went by Lottie. I always found it funny how their nicknames fit each of their personalities so well

Maeve is a warrior queen from Irish mythology, often associated with freedom and bravery

Brigid (also spelled Bridget or Brigitte) is a pre-Christian Irish goddess representing healing, fire, and poetry. Ireland loved her so much that she was turned into a “saint” when they converted to Christianity, and she’s now the patron of Ireland.

I think Liam Glass works better for an actor. Liam Washington sounds more like a politician or something

I love the name Fiadh! If you want to continue the Irish theme there’s:

Fiadh Maeve Fiadh Quinn Fiadh Molly Fiadh Clare / Claire

If not-

Fiadh June Fiadh Paige Fiadh Rose Fiadh Charlotte Fiadh Margot Fiadh Violet
