History & Origin

Tarron is a late-twentieth-century coinage that fits neatly into the family of Darren, Darron, and Tarran. Whether a given family had the Welsh Taran (thunder) in mind or simply liked the rhythm is not recorded, so we treat the origin as uncertain and note the plausible routes rather than settle on one.

Tarron was never common in the United States, reaching only about twenty boys a year around its peak in 2001 and staying scarce before and after. A boy named Tarron then is a young adult today.

Did you know? One of the roots sometimes proposed for Tarron, the Welsh Taran, means thunder - the same word that named a thunder-god in old Celtic belief.
