Eryn is of Irish origin, derived from the Irish surname 'Ó Righín', which means 'descendant of Rigín'. Rigín itself is a diminutive form of 'Rí', meaning 'king'. Thus, Eryn can be translated to mean 'little king' or 'descendant of the king'. The name has gained popularity in recent years as a unisex given name, often used for both boys and girls. It offers a unique alternative to more traditional names while still carrying a strong historical and cultural significance.
"Eryn has seen peaks and valleys in popularity over the years, with a significant rise in usage between 1988 to 1994, followed by another spike around 2007. However, it seems to have maintained steady, though lower, popularity throughout most of its history."
