Byrone is English in Origin.

Byrone is a modern spelling variant of Byron, an English surname-turned-given name. Byron derives from Old English bȳre “byre, cowshed,” appearing in the phrase æt þǣm bȳrum, “at the byres,” used to denote someone who lived by or came from the cattle sheds; hence the meaning “from the byres” or “dweller by the barns.” Byrone retains this rustic, locative sense while giving the name a slightly elongated, distinguished look.

As a personal name, Byron gained prominence in the early 19th century thanks to the celebrity of the Romantic poet Lord Byron, lending it literary and brooding associations. Byrone surfaces in records as a rare alternative from the late 19th century onward. Related forms and variants include Byron, Biron (French-influenced spelling), and the surname variant Byrom; short forms such as By also occur. The name suits those seeking a classic with subtle individuality.
