Gryffen is a boy’s name inspired by the Welsh Griffin and Griffith, made for a natural-born leader. Gryffen commands respect with its meaning “strong chief” from Grifud or Gruffudd, readying your little one for their role of greatness. Gryffen may also come from the English word “griffin,” referring to the Greek mythological half-bird-half-lion whose name comes from the Greek root gryps, meaning “curved” or “hook-nosed.” Leading with confidence and a whimsical chime, Gryffen crowns the little nestling with a mighty soul.
