Meaning & origin
Tarin first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1954, but it did not gain any notable traction until the 1970s. The name's popularity peaked in 1985, when it was given to a small but measurable number of babies. Since then, usage has been stable but very low, with an estimated one-in-a-million rate nationally. Tarin does not appear in the top ranks of any state, and it has never made the national top 1000. The name is used for both genders, though more often for girls. Its origins are unclear, possibly a modern coinage or an anglicized form of an Irish name.
The name Tarin likely derives from the Irish place name Tara, meaning "hill" or "ridge," or from the Gaelic word for "star." It may also be a modern variant of Taryn, itself a feminine form of Taron, an Armenian name of uncertain meaning. Tarin first appeared in U.S. records in 1954 and saw moderate use in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly for girls, though it remains relatively uncommon.
