Origin: Irish

Meaning: Gelding

Garion is a beautiful boy’s name from the Irish expression gearran for “gelding.” It mightn't seem like so at first, but if you consider this name's famous fictional connections, it truly is a beautiful choice for any budding bibliophile. In the early 80s, American fantasy writer David Eddings came out with his epic five-book series, The Belgariad, which tells of a young sorcerer named Garion on a magical path of self-discovery. Name your little reader Garion, and they might learn something new about themselves, too.
