Bryon is English in Origin.

Bryon is a modern English given name with two plausible roots. Most commonly it is a respelling of Byron, an English surname from Old English bȳrum, “at the byres” (cow-sheds), hence “from the cowsheds” or “of the barns.” Others treat Bryon as a streamlined variant of Brian/Bryan, from Old Irish Brían, “high, noble, exalted.” Pronunciations vary: BYE-ron when aligned with Byron, or BRY-ən when aligned with Brian.

As a first name, Bryon surfaced in English-speaking countries in the early 20th century and saw modest U.S. use mid-century, likely influenced by the fame of Lord Byron and the broad appeal of Brian/Bryan. It remains uncommon today. Variants and cognates include Byron, Byran (rare), Brian, Bryan, and Irish Brían; related feminine forms are Briana and Bryanna. A simple nickname is Bry, though some bearers also answer to Ron when pronounced like Byron.
