Carin

Meaning of Carin

Imagine Carin as a sunlit breeze dancing between the crisp Scandinavian fjords and the warm embrace of Latin cariño—this unisex gem springs from the classic Greek root of Katherine, meaning “pure,” while its echoes of the Latin carus (“dear”) wrap it in a cozy, affectionate glow. Pronounced KAIR-in (/kɛər-ɪn/), it glides off the tongue like a secret promise. Though still a hidden treasure—20 babies in 2022, 23 in 2023 and 13 in 2024 brought Carin to life in the US, hovering around the 900-plus ranks—it feels destined to shimmer brighter with each new born. With its blend of timeless purity and heartfelt cariño, Carin tells a story of love that’s both classic and endlessly fresh.
