Tharon is an uncommon and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from the Native American tribe name, Taron or Tarrone, meaning "from the forest." It is also associated with the fictional character Tharon in the popular fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. The name Tharon is often used for boys but can also be given to girls, making it a unisex option. Spelling variations may include Tharonn, Thoron, or even Thoran. However, the most common spelling remains Tharon.
The name Tharon was quite popular between 1919 and 1935, with a peak of 32 births in 1923. However, it's interesting to note that the popularity started to decline after that year, with fewer than ten births per year from 1926 onwards. Despite this, there were consistent occurrences of the name up until 1950, totaling 167 births over these decades.
