meaning

What does Taryn mean?  I dunno, I really haven't given it much thought, you know.  That's 'cause I've always taken it for granite...er, granted, I mean.  It's the only first name I've ever known and sometimes people do tell me "oh, my, what a pretty name." You know, like that and stuff....anyway, Taryn's not even a common name in Ireland (and some say it's not even Irish), so finding out about it is rough, let me tell you!

But, anyhow, here's what we've found out about it so far:

The Meaning of Taryn, by Taryn!
thanks to my new friend, Taryn, for this plaque with our name on it!
 
  • mystical meaning: taryn is a combination of the words tara, a mythical Irish land of kings, and erin, which is another word for ireland! now that's pretty darn kewl!
  • convenient meaning: years ago (way before my time, let me tell you) this actor guy, tyrone powers, and his wife made the name Taryn up for their daughter! 
    (tyrone <|> taryn - get it?)
    whew! I think I like the mystical meaning a whole lot better (nothing personal, Taryn)!

other possible meanings:

{"loves everyone"} {"hill or pinnacle"} {"carry or throw" in Arabic!} {"innocent one/thunder"} {Latin for "the land, earth"}


pronunciation:

...guess how many times people thought my name was karin?  they just don't wanna hear the t I guess!  well, here's a simple guide to correct pro-nun-c-aye-shun of my name:

  • tear-in: this is how we say it around our house!
  • tar-en: this is probably a more proper "Irish" way to say it, I figure (or so my dad says)!

lost? you're in Taryn's World..and Welcome to it!
