Tiernen Origin and Meaning

The name Tiernen is a boy's name.

Tiernen is a masculine name of Irish Gaelic origin, believed to be derived from 'tighearna' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' This uncommon name carries aristocratic connotations and connects to Ireland's historic clan system. Tiernen is sometimes spelled Tiernan or Tiarnan, with the latter being more traditional in Irish. The name has remained relatively rare outside of Ireland, giving it a distinctive quality for those who bear it. In recent years, as parents seek unique names with cultural significance, Tiernen has seen modest increased interest, especially among families with Irish heritage who wish to honor their ancestral roots.
