History & Origin

Wrenn is a double-n spelling of Wren — Old English wrenna, the small, sharp-voiced songbird that folklore crowns king of birds. As Wren soared with the bird-name wave, the Wrenn spelling (also an English surname) followed.

It registers thinly beside Wren. Rare, songbird at the root, and crisply styled.

Did you know? In European folklore the wren is 'king of birds' — it won the title by hiding in an eagle's feathers and soaring highest of all; a sly crown for a tiny name.
