Kyren is a modern spelling, recorded in the US from 1990, that most likely represents Kieran, the anglicized form of the Irish name Ciarán, from ciar 'dark, black' with a diminutive ending, so 'little dark one'. Saint Ciarán of Clonmacnoise was a 6th-century founder of monasteries. Wiktionary lists Kyren without an etymology, and some bearers may have it as a blend of Ky- and -ren names.
