Faryn
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Faryn: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.
A modern spelling variant of Farren, the name Faryn draws from the Irish surname Ó Faráin, meaning ‘descendant of Farán’—a personal name likely signifying ‘little man’ or ‘warrior’. It also occasionally echoes the Persian Farin, meaning ‘joyful’ or ‘glad’. In Scotland, Faryn has been recorded in small numbers since the early 2000s, used mostly for girls but sometimes for boys. While no famous bearers are widely known, its soft sound and resemblance to ‘fairy’ give it a whimsical appeal. The name shares its Gaelic root with the Irish places Farran and Farranfore, though direct place connections are limited.
