Merryn is a girl’s name of British origin. The title dates back centuries to Saint Merryn, who inspired both the name for babies and for a Cornish town. Although there’s not much known about this mysterious name, it is believed to also be connected to the Irish Muirgean, which means “seaborn.” It comes as no surprise, so, that the name Merryn has journeyed across the Atlantic to make it to the US baby name charts today. There is a number of spelling variations, including Meryn, Merrin, and Mirin, giving you ample choices when finding the perfect fit for baby.
