Renn, primarily of Scottish origin, is a locational surname turned given name, derived from a habitational name from Ren in Perthshire, or from the Old English *hryne* meaning "a whirlpool" or "a still pool". It may also be a variant of the German "Renn" meaning "runner". While no globally famous bearers immediately spring to mind, the name feels quietly connected to the rugged, water-sculpted landscape of Scotland. There is no major named place, though the name shares a root with many "Rennie" place names. A notable variant is the surname Rennie, which saw a spike in popularity as a first name in Scotland in the mid-20th century, and Renn is now a sleek, modern-sounding choice with deep, watery roots.
