Naren Origin and Meaning

The name Naren is a girl's name meaning "elegant, graceful, delicate + benevolence, kindness".

Used as a masculine name among Hindi speakers and meaning "lord of men", Naren may also be a feminine name from its Chinese roots. Made up of the elements nà and rén, it could be considered a virtue-adjacent name, associated with kindness and grace, along with elegance and sophistication. It appears in Jenny Nimmo's fantasy novels, Children of the Red King (also known as the Charlie Bone series), in which the name is said to mean "sunflower", possibly due to confusion between Naren and the Mongolian name, Naran.
