Orin is a boy’s name, though its feminine usage for the villainous Orin the Red in Baldur’s Gate 3 may just spark some gender-neutral interest. Orin is of Irish origin, thought to be a form of Odhrán, which descriptively means “dark-haired,” “brown,” “sallow,” and “little pale green one.” Also a variant of Hebrew Oren, Orin has the nature-infused meaning of “pine tree.” If your woodland sprite is the apple of your eye, you may love that Orin lends itself to a type of sweet apple in Japan. A worldly appellation, Orin is limitless in the heights it can help baby reach—whether that’s being the Chosen of their god or finding their home amidst the trees.
