Farryn

Meaning of Farryn

Farryn is a contemporary feminine name that appears to have developed as a variant of the Old English–derived Farren, itself rooted in the element “fær,” which conveys notions of journey or adventure. The modification of the terminal syllable to -ryn reflects a broader Anglo-American trend favoring the “y” consonant glide and a concise two-syllable structure, pronounced FAIR-in (ˈfɛr.ɪn). According to U.S. Social Security Administration figures, Farryn has consistently ranked in the lower quartile of name popularity—generally between 800 and 950—registering single-digit to mid-teens annual occurrences in recent years. Its usage profile suggests an appeal to parents seeking a name that balances rarity with recognizability, offering both a subtle allusion to movement and a measured departure from more conventional choices.
