Bouncing off the Irish Ryan and Rían, Ryun is the latest in a long line of noble boys' names. Ryun is an anglicized form of rí, a term used in ancient Irish history meaning "king." These noblemen were often from prestigious local families. The most famous was Brian Boru, who was the first ard rí or high king to claim rule over the entire island. Whether you wish to honor your Irish heritage or grant your little one a sprinkle of leadership from day one, your Ryun will have the most important title of them all.
