Beren

Meaning of Beren

Beren has a quietly confident charm, blending Turkish roots—where it means “strong,” “durable” or “firm”—with a whisper of legend from Tolkien’s tales of Beren the bold hero. Used equally for boys and girls, it rolls off the tongue in English much as in Turkish (beh-ren), easy to pronounce yet rich in character. In the U.S., Beren has hovered around the top 900 names in recent years, with 26 little Berns (yes, two Ns!) joining the ranks in 2024—proof that this name feels fresh without being off the grid. If you’re after something that feels timeless and spirited, one that suggests resilience and storybook bravery all at once, Beren might just be the perfect choice to write the next chapter in your family’s history.
