Taren Origin and Meaning

The name Taren is a girl's name.

Taren is a unisex name that leans feminine in usage. It likely originated as a variant of Taryn, which itself may be an anglicized form of the Irish name Tiarnán (meaning 'little lord') or possibly derived from the Welsh elements 'tar' (thunder) and 'en' (being). Some associate it with the legendary Taran, a character in Welsh mythology. Taren has maintained modest usage since the 1970s without ever becoming mainstream. Its simple two-syllable structure, combined with its slightly mystical sound and gender-versatile nature, appeals to parents seeking a contemporary name with Celtic undertones and an understated strength.
