Kairn is a name for boys that comes from the masculine moniker Cairn. Scottish in origin, it shares its etymology with “cairn,” the English word for a “heap of stones” or a “rocky hill.” Cairns can be found all over Scotland, and throughout the ages, they’ve been known to mark sacred memorial sites. Although most modern cairns serve a different purpose, their importance to past civilizations will no doubt inspire your little Kairn, whose name will count for something just as special.
