Kianni is English in Origin.

Kianni is a modern given name with several credible etymological routes. It most closely aligns with Kiani/Kianī, a Persian surname-turned–first name meaning “royal” or “of the Kayanian dynasty.” It is also treated as a creative variant of Kiana, the Hawaiian form of Diana, lending the sense “divine” or “heavenly.” Some parents connect it to Kian (Irish Cian, “ancient; enduring,” and Persian Kian, “realm, kingly”), with the doubled n adding a contemporary twist. These converging lines make Kianni a multicultural choice with regal and celestial overtones.

Use in English-speaking countries rose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially in the United States, where it appears chiefly as a feminine name. Spellings and close variants include Kiani, Kiana, Kianna, Keani, and Kianié. While rare in historical records, Kianni fits current tastes for fluid, vowel-rich names and offers layered meanings from “royal” to “divine” to “enduring.”
