Splitting article

This article is about two disparate names: the Celtic and the Indian one. There is already an article about the Indian Sanskrit name at Kiran (given name) and one about the Celtic name at Ciarán (of which Keeran appears to be a spelling variant). Should we move this article's content into the other two articles and leave a disambiguation page here? Uanfala (talk) 00:10, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Done. I've only left content relevant to the Tamil name here. Uanfala (talk) 23:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
