Origin: Armenian

Meaning: Loon (species of water bird)

Garen is a masculine Armenian name almost lost to history but is experiencing a revival as a charming title with a graceful flow. Parents birdwatching for an avian-themed name may love Garen’s meaning of “loon,” a water bird species. Garen ultimately comes from the Russian surname Gagarin, borne by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin—the first human to journey to outer space. Equipped with wings to reach the stars, Garen might inspire your little nestling to explore new worlds thought only possible in dreams.
