German, Dutch, Polish, and Sorbian; Slovak (also Kilián); Czech (Kilián): from German, Dutch, Polish, Upper Sorbian, Slovak, and Czech adaptations of the Irish personal name Cillín (see Killeen ). Saint Kilian was a 7th-century Irish missionary to Franconia and Thuringia, martyred c. 698 at Würzburg (he is the patron saint of this German city), hence the popularity of this personal name in medieval central Europe.
