Kiyan or Kian same meanning as Shahanshah (king of the kings) sounds powerful.
As far as the name Leila or Layla, I am not sure if originated from Iran or Arab countries assuming that Iranian (persian)kingdom was huge at one point. If some one have a reliable historical backgroung, please don't hesitate to share (wikipedia doesn't count).
