Garrin is a masculine given name with medieval roots, originating as a variant of the Old French Garin and ultimately grounded in Germanic elements meaning “army” or “spear.” It appeared in Norman records and early chronicles, often linked to figures noted for their leadership or martial resolve. In contemporary Anglo-American usage, Garrin conveys a quiet strength and steadfast reliability without leaning toward showiness. Although it has never been widely adopted, its modest presence suggests an understated confidence that bridges past and present. For parents seeking a name with genuine historical weight and a crisp, modern sound, Garrin offers a distinctive yet accessible choice.
