Orrin
About Orrin
With a cool color meaning and a woodsy, earthy feel, this anglicized spelling of the Irish name Odhrán could rise in popularity thanks to Olympic rugby player, Orrin Bizer. The name did rank in the US Top 1000 in the late 1800s and the early 20th century, but has been out of the charts since the 60s.
Pronounced OR-in.
As of October 2026, Orrin ranked #2278 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #383 in 1881.
