Meaning of Keyan
Keyan is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “being”, “existence”, “essence”. It is derived from the K-W-N (existence, being, was) root, which is one of the most common roots of the Arabic language, used over 800 times in the Quran:
Mankind was only one community, but then they differed, and had it not been for a prior word from your Lord, their differences would have been settled for them. (Quran 10:19)
We said “O fire, be cool and safe for Ibrahim.” (Quran 21:69)
Additionally, Keyan (also pronounced Kayaan) is an ancient Farsi name that means powerful king, unrelated to the Quranic word.
