Meaning: Earth-man, of the earth; Great; Youthful

Terran is a two-syllable boy’s name of English origin, meaning “earth-man” or “of the earth," with just enough muscle to keep your darling daydreamer grounded. The name Terran is said to hold ties to Irish and Sanskrit origins, too. A “T” twist on the Irish name Darren, meaning “great,” and a take on Tarun, which flows from the Sanskrit term taruna for “youthful,” Terran is a riveting remembrance of the first flush of youth. It might even inspire higher hopes in those who long for their heyday.
