Byren is English in Origin.

Byren is a modern English given name, most often a respelling of Byron. The underlying surname Byron comes from Old English byre, “cowshed, barn,” used topographically for someone who lived near the byres; the -on ending is locative. As a given name, Byron rose sharply in the 19th century under the influence of the Romantic poet Lord Byron, and Byren emerges later as a stylish alternative spelling. Usage of Byren is rare but documented in English-speaking countries from the mid-20th century onward.

Variants and related forms include Byron (standard), Biron, Byrun, and occasional creative spellings such as Byrin. Nicknames sometimes used are By and Ren. Do not confuse Byren with the Irish surname Byrne/Byrne (Ó Broin, “descendant of Bran,” meaning “raven”) or with Bryan/Brian. The core meaning attached to Byren remains “dweller by the barns,” blending a pastoral Old English origin with a literary association via Byron.
