Terryn Origin and Meaning

The name Terryn is a boy's name.

Terryn is a contemporary masculine name with Celtic origins, though it works well as a gender-neutral option too. It may derive from the Irish name Tiarnán, meaning 'little lord,' or could be a modern variation of Terrence (meaning 'tender' or 'smooth'). The distinctive 'yn' ending gives it a modern edge while maintaining its connection to traditional naming patterns found in Welsh and Irish cultures. While relatively uncommon, Terryn has gained some traction among parents seeking a name that sounds established yet isn't overused. Its concise, strong sound pattern and earthy associations make it appealing for those looking for a name with both strength and accessibility.
