History & Origin

Larin has no firmly recorded etymology. Its closest documented neighbours are Lauren, a feminine form built on Latin laurus, 'laurel,' and Larkin, an English surname from a pet form of Lawrence. Larin may be a clipped modern spelling of either, or an independent coinage; the sources do not settle it, so we present it honestly as a short modern name whose routes are uncertain (said 'LAIR-in').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, trim, and modern.
