Garion is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from the epic fantasy series 'The Belgariad' by David Eddings. This name first appeared in literature as the protagonist's name in these novels and has since gained popularity as a choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet compelling moniker for their child.
The name Garion experienced significant popularity from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, with peak years being 1993 to 1996, each seeing over 20 births annually. However, its usage has since declined, with recent years (2017 onwards) showing fewer than 12 births per year.
