different dicts say different things:

Z:
xián ㄒㄧㄢˊ

 ◎ 凶狠。

其它字义

xuán ㄒㄩㄢˊ

1. 通“玄”。
2. 同“悬”。
3. 姓。

LA: xián
1.〈書〉凶狠。
2. 臺 姓。

GF: xián
1. 黑红色;也指黑色
2. 姓。
-------------------------------

Editor: "fierce; ferocious" makes it sound like a predatory animal, but LA's definition of 凶狠 suggests it describes *people*.
(Also, GR's definition of 伭 is "cruel".)
Diff:
# 伭 伭 [xian2] /(literary) fierce/ferocious/dark red/black/
+ 伭 伭 [xian2] /(literary) cruel; ruthless/(literary) dark red; black/
+ 伭 伭 [Xian2] /surname Xian/
+ 伭 伭 [xuan2] /variant of 玄[xuan2]/variant of 懸|悬[xuan2]/
