taryn is a welsh name and is not pronounced tar-rin but pronounced tar-ren like darren with a t. it means thunder and i think it is a very strong name and would suit a boy better than a girl

I have never come across a boy name Taryn spelled like I spell it. I have ALWAYS gotten compliments on my name, and everyone always remembered me because of it. I loved having a different name, so I came up with a different name to give my daughter too.

i know a few boys named taryn and only 2 girls. it also means earth.

I have met or known 7 or 8 Taryns and they are all female, like me! I think the y makes it sort of girly. I've seen only one boy and he spelled it Tarran. Also, I've heard it's been derived from Tara and Erin, as well as being related to Karen...sooo, hmmm....

I named my little girl this name. I have never heard of a boy named Taryn either. I found that the name meant "rolling hill". But if the name means "Thunder" it suits her. She is energenic and strong willed. : )

I am currently pregnant with a son and have spent several months "discusing" baby names with my husband and we both have decided on the name Taryn for our baby. Neither one of us have known any in our time so hopefully nobody will think of it as to girly for him.

So i have yet to meet a boy named Taryn,but i have a beautiful girl named Taryn Elizabeth...as I understand it the name is Gaelic and means"rocky craig"whatever it means i didnt name her because of the meaning but because of its uniqueness...there is not aTaryn in her class or her entire school for that matter...lets be original folks!!

My 18 year old son's name is Taron. He is the only boy with his name that I have met. His nickname is Taz.

She was called Taryn... pronounced Tar - in.

Taryn is a girls name that has no exact origin but can mean many things it means Tender/innocent -Scots/Gaelic, rocky hill -Irish/Gaelic, thunder -Norse/Celtic, of the earth -Latin, Tower -English, the reaper -Greek, wild goat -Hebrew, to carry -Arabic, young -Sanskrit, queen -Greco/Roman, and little princess -Scandinavian. It's usually a boys name if you spell it like- Tarran or Taron.

My son Taryn is now 15. All his life he has been the only Taryn that is a boy.... have only ever come across one other Taryn(girl). He has often been called Taz. Taryn is not a girls name but unisex. I have seen it meaning "Thunder" I have also seen it meaning "Fire" neither meaning would be considered girlie.
Give your baby an unusual name it makes life interesting!!

My grandson who age 2 is named Tarran and the meaning Thunder would suit him well...I have never met another boy with his name but I love it for boys..sounds strong

Up until recently, I have never heard of the name Taryn (with that spelling) belonging to a boy. I know many female Taryns. I do know males with the name but the spelling is never the same. tarran, or Taron (or close to) has been the spelling for males. The first meaning I heard was precious little flower and that was back in 1986. now it seems the internet is making up their own meanings for names.. because people are using opposite sex names for their children. Anyways, the meaning of thunder or fire does not necessarily sound masculin to me, It's all in interpretation. The meaning thunder, can mean strong willed or strong spirited. Women are also often referred to as Firey. Other meanings I have heard of for Taryn are Queen, little princess, rocky hill (would would that even mean for either sex), tender/innocent, of the earth and to carry. Does that sound Masculin to you?

Welsh is the oldest European language, so I hardly think that their names mean anything other than what is described. I get rather cross when I find people either doubt the meaning, or else change the spelling because they can't pronounce it properly.!

my new baby boy has been named Taryn, buts its a silent y so its pronounced (taron),

Taryn is my 6 yr old daughter's name. She's the only one i know. I found it in the baby book, it was a variation of Tara. I think the y makes it more femme. I know of a boy, but it's Terran.
