Origin: Irish

Meaning: Of Rory; Red king

Even if your little one doesn’t wear a crown, everyone will know how regal they are when they hear their name, Roran. A masculine name, Roran has strong Irish roots, deriving from Rory, a variant of the traditional Irish moniker Ruaidhrí. Despite being spelled slightly differently, Roran, Rory, and Ruaidhrí all share the same meaning, “red king.” In the Irish language, the word ruadh translates to “red,” and the word rí means “king.” When combined, these two words create a collection of names that have been carried for centuries. Now, it’s your little Roran’s turn to show the world what it looks like to rule with kindness.
