History & Origin

Farin is a scarce girls' name, most plausibly a variant of Farrin or Farrah. Farrah, from the Arabic for 'joy,' rose in the nineteen-seventies with the fame of Farrah Fawcett, while Farrin survives as an English surname. Farin's trimmed spelling leaves it open to either root, and its meaning follows its likely parent rather than a single fixed source.

Farin was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1986, with thin use otherwise. A woman named Farin then is around forty today.

Did you know? Through Farrah, the name Farin can carry the Arabic sense of 'joy' or 'happiness,' a meaning made familiar in America by the actress Farrah Fawcett.
