Is the Irish name Keirnan for a boy or a girl?

Question

What was it originally?

Answer 1

Awesome name, best spelling of it too. Though, Kiernan isn't the Irish way of spelling it I don't think. I'm pretty sure thats Ciernan. The Irish boy I know spells his name like that.

Answer 2

Its a surname only.

Im Irish and in Ireland it would be bizarre to give your child that name as a first name.

Its only ever a surname so its genderless.

It was my childhood best friends surname.

Im presuming you dont live in Ireland, because if you did you would know better than to use it as a first name, in which case you could use it as either a boys or girls name whichever you want.

Answer 3

there is a boy in my school named kiernan. so boy i guess.

Answer 4

Kiernan means son of a Lord and it's a BOY name.

I do like the name! I love lots of Irish names though. It's unique but not out-there.

Answer 5

It sounds like a boy name to me & I like it.
