Urien

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Privileged birth

Urien is a Welsh baby name with a fascinating story to tell! It's shared with a 6th-century king of Rheged, an early British kingdom in northern England and southern Scotland. According to Arthurian legend, Urien was a bit of a rebel. He rallied his troops when King Arthur took the throne, making him a heroic figure in the Welsh battles against the English. Fittingly, Urien means "privileged birth," in line with its royal ancestry. Your darling Urien will surely live up to their name's grandiosity while remaining down-to-earth and kind to those less fortunate.
