Emryn

Sweet, contemporary, and with a hint of magic, Emryn was a new addition to the US Top 1000 in 2023. Combining that popular 'Em' beginning of Emma and Emily, the sounds of Erin and Evelyn, and the vibes of Elowyn, Bronwen and Wren, Emryn is fun, quirky, and currently cool.

While Emryn could be a modern invention, borrowing and blending popular name sounds, it could also be a variant of the Welsh name Emrys, combined with the 'ryn' suffix. This could give it the rather spectacular meaning of "immortal ruler" - adding a layer of power and mystique to a name that could also fit into the trendy and modern category.

Emryn has been in use since 2010, and was given to a small handful of girls and an even smaller number of boys each year. Then, in 2023, its usage trebled, with over 300 baby Emryns being registered in the US. It may however be a "one hit wonder", as 2024 data revealed it to be one of the fastest falling names of the year, slipping out of the Top 1000 and back down to #1492 and more than halving in use.

Emryn is also given to boys.

Pronounced EM-rin.

As of October 2026, Emryn ranked #1416 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #886 in 2023.
