Viren

Meaning of Viren

Viren, pronounced VEER-en (/ˈvɪər.ən/), is a masculine given name rooted in Sanskrit, deriving from the element vira, “hero” or “brave,” and the suffix –in, denoting possession or embodiment, thus connoting one who embodies heroic qualities. Historically attested in Vedic texts and later Hindu traditions, the name has been associated with figures exemplifying moral strength, leadership, and fortitude. In the contemporary Anglo-American context, Viren has been adopted particularly within diasporic South Asian communities, where it serves as a marker of cultural heritage while resonating with universal ideals of courage and integrity. According to the United States Social Security Administration, the name has maintained a modest but consistent presence over the past three decades, with annual birth counts fluctuating between five and seventeen and a national rank oscillating between 711 and 932. This stability reflects a pattern of selective preference that privileges names of classical origin with cross-cultural appeal. As such, Viren presents a distinctive option for parents seeking a name of historical depth that remains accessible and singular within modern Western naming conventions.
