Killian

Killian is the anglicised form of the Irish name, Cillian. Cillian is derived from the Medieval Irish family name of Ó'Cillín but it was slowly transformed into Kileen and Killian as well. Cillian is a name that has been used by a number of Irish saints and nobles. The meaning of Killiain is ‘little church’, or ‘spiritual’, coming from the Gaelic word ‘cill’, which means ‘church’ and ‘-an’ as a pet name. Cillian can also be considered to be a diminutive of ‘ceallach’, which means ‘war’,’battle’ or ‘conflict’. Saint Killian, an Irish missionary bishop, was one of the most famous figures to have borne this name. He was the Apostle of Franconia, as well as the patron saint of all those who suffer from rheumatism. His feast is celebrated on July 8. This name is pretty famous in Ireland, Scotland, France and Austria as well. It is very common among athletes and sportspeople; American basketball player Killian Hayes and Irish wrestler Killian Dain are some professional sportsmen named Killian.
