History & Origin

Arrion is a modern coinage that leans on familiar old names: the Greek Arion, a legendary poet said to have been carried to shore by a dolphin, and the biblical Aaron, brother of Moses, whose name is traditionally read as 'exalted' or 'mountain of strength.' As a rare feminine spelling it borrows their music without settling on one story.

Arrion was always vanishingly rare, only a handful of girls a year around the late 1990s. It reads as an individual, of-its-era coinage rather than an established name.

Did you know? The doubled r in Arrion gives a very old set of sounds — Arion, Aaron, Orion — a fresh, invented-looking form.
