M.L. Desir asked Ciahnan Darrell:

What's the story behind your first name?

Ciahnan Darrell Mostly commonly Cianan or Keenan, it’s a Gaelic name meaning ‘ancient’.

Some people pronounce it Key-nan, but, but I pronoun it Keen-en.

My parents chose the name because it can’t be shortened into a nickname.

Interestingly enough, my brother’s name is Cyrus, chosen for the same reason.

They didn’t quite think that one through.
