History & Origin
Therron is a spelling variant of Theron, from Greek theron, 'hunter,' a name carried in antiquity by a ruler of Akragas in Sicily. The doubled r is a decorative twist on the standard spelling. Therron appears in United States records from around 1960 and reached a small high around 1966. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.
A boy named Therron at that high would be in his fifties now. The double-r spelling stayed a rarity beside the standard Theron; it reads as a personal flourish on an old Greek name, and parents drawn to the sound usually choose Theron.
