Ciannait is Irish in Origin.
Ciannait is an Old Irish feminine given name built on Cían, the Gaelic personal name meaning “ancient, enduring,” combined with the feminine name‑forming suffix ‑ait. In normalized Irish orthography it is written Cíanait; forms without diacritics (Ciannait, Cianait) also appear. The sense is “the enduring/ancient one,” and the name belongs to the same family as the well‑known masculine Cian.
The name is recorded in medieval Irish sources, borne by women in monastic and dynastic circles between the 8th and 12th centuries, and it has seen quiet revival in contemporary Ireland as a heritage choice. Historical and modern variants include Cíanait, Cianait, and Ciannait; related or adapted forms used today include Cianna and Ciana. Anglicized equivalents such as Kenna or Keena are sometimes adopted for ease, though they arise by analogy rather than from a single fixed historical rendering.
