History & Origin

Jarrin is a modern American boys' name that appears in United States records from the late 1970s. It reads as a variant of Jaron or Jarrett, part of the era's fondness for fresh two-syllable boys' names with an -in ending.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its late-1990s high before easing off. A boy named Jarrin then is in his mid-twenties today.

Did you know? Jarrin sits between Jaron and Jarrett in sound, so it can nod either to the Hebrew 'to sing' or to Jarrett's 'brave spear,' depending on the family.
