Taron, pronounced tair-uhn (/ˈtɛrən/), is a masculine given name whose provenance can be traced to multiple linguistic traditions, notably the Welsh term taran, signifying “thunder,” and the Armenian toponym Taron, denoting a historic province of Greater Armenia. Within Anglo-American usage it has sustained a modest profile, reaching its highest relative frequency in the early 1980s—peaking at rank 631 in 1984—before undergoing a gradual decline to its current standing near the 900th position, with 27 recorded births in the United States in 2024. The name’s enduring, albeit limited, presence over four decades attests to a niche appeal, further evidenced by its selective adoption among figures in contemporary arts and culture. Its phonetic transparency, embodied in a concise two-syllable structure, enhances its legibility even as overall usage remains infrequent. Consequently, Taron occupies a distinct position within masculine naming conventions, combining historical depth with a reserved modernity.
