Kyan

Where Kyan comes from

Kyan hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1977
    First appearance
    #5,845 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1982
    Kyan Khojandi born
    French comedian
  3. 1985
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
  4. 1992
    Kyan Anderson born
    American basketball player
  5. 2004
    Peak, #587
    379 babies named Kyan — more than any year before or since.
  6. 2007
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,038.
