Euryn is Welsh in Origin.

Euryn is a Welsh given name built from eur, the poetic word for “gold” (cognate with aur), plus the diminutive ending -yn. In Welsh the noun euryn/ewryn also means “a tiny speck” or “grain,” especially of something precious, so the name conveys “little golden one,” “speck of gold,” and by extension “precious, cherished.”

Attested chiefly in Wales, Euryn is rare but recognizable through Welsh literature and toponyms such as Penrhyn Euryn and Llys Euryn, which feature the element. The name saw modest revival during 19th–20th‑century cultural nationalism and remains an uncommon, mostly masculine choice among Welsh‑speaking families. Notable modern use includes broadcaster Euryn Ogwen Williams. Close Welsh variants and cognates include Euron and Eurion (“golden one”), Eurig (“golden, splendid”), and the feminine Eurwen and Euronwy; Ewryn appears as a historical spelling. The streamlined Anglicized form Eurin is occasionally encountered.
