Is ‘Kayan’ a quranic name? What is the meaning of it?

Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Kayan is not a Quranic or Islamic name. It is a Persian word from Pahlavi sources and means "great king", "royal", "high status", "important person". Since the meaning is not bad Muslims can use it. It is a boy name, but Kayan is also used for girls.

Another name that sounds like Kayan is Keyan, which is a Quranic name. You can see its details here: Keyan

    There is a name (Kayan كيان) in the Arabic language originally, and its meaning is different from the Persian and means (existence and being), and it is mostly a girl’s name, but there are a few boys with this name
