Farryn is English, Irish in Origin.

Farryn is a modern, largely unisex given name most often viewed as a creative spelling of Farren or Faron. Through Faron it connects to a Germanic root, Proto-Germanic faran “to go, to travel,” seen in Old High German Faro and in Saint Faro (Faron), a 7th‑century bishop of Meaux whose cult kept the name alive in medieval French records. As a forename in the English‑speaking world, Farryn appears mainly from the late 20th century onward, favored for its soft ending and contemporary look.

A second pathway runs through the English surname Farren, sometimes traced to Old French ferrant, “iron‑grey” (applied to horses), which lends the evocative sense of iron strength; Farren is also borne by Irish families where it represents an anglicized Gaelic surname. Variants include Farren, Farrin, Faryn, Farin, and Faron; feminine‑leaning spellings such as Farryn and Faryn are common. Meanings offered: traveler, journey; or iron‑strong.
