For the golden child coming to take their rightful place on the throne, Welsh Neirin offers a name worthy of baby’s grandeur. This masculine title is believed to be the original spelling of Aneirin and holds the Welsh meanings “truly golden” and “noble.” With roots that stretch back to Latin, Neirin is thought to come from honor, a Latin word meaning “honor” or “respect.” So that baby is never short of poetic inspiration, namesake Aneurin—aka Neirin—was an early Medieval Brythonic bard and court poet in the 6th century. No matter your connection with this enchanting title, there’s no denying baby’s golden personality needs a lofty name like Neirin to compliment it.
