  2. Odran

    • Description:

      Odran is a masculine name of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic 'Ódhrán' meaning 'pale green' or 'sallow.' This ancient name was borne by several Irish saints, including a 6th-century monk who was St. Columba's charioteer and reportedly offered himself to be buried alive as a sacrifice to consecrate a monastery on Iona. Odran combines historical depth with a distinctive sound that feels both traditional and fresh to modern ears. While common in Ireland through the centuries, it remains relatively rare internationally, giving it an air of distinctive Celtic heritage. The name's brevity and strong consonant sounds give it a masculine feel, while its vowel pattern creates a melodic quality. Odran offers parents a name with authentic Irish roots and historical significance that remains uncommon yet accessible.

The name has deep Celtic roots and maintains a strong connection to Irish cultural heritage and musical tradition. Extremely uncommon even in Ireland, Uaithne represents one of the more obscure choices from Irish mythology.
