Kedrin is in Origin.

Kedrin is a rare given name with layered roots. In Slavic usage, it aligns with the Russian surname Kedrin, formed from kedr, "cedar," plus the possessive -in, yielding the sense "of the cedar" and evoking the tree's associations with resilience and longevity. It can also echo Greek kedros, "cedar/juniper," via the Byzantine family name Kedrinos; alternatively, some view it as a modern reshaping of the biblical toponym Kidron/Kedron (Hebrew Qidron), "dark, turbid," the ravine east of Jerusalem.

As a personal name, Kedrin remains rare in English-speaking countries and is more familiar as a Russian surname - borne, for example, by poet Dmitry Kedrin. Documented since Byzantine times as Kedrinos/Cedrenus, the root also surfaces in medieval chronicles. Variants and related forms include Kedron, Kidron, and the Latinized Cedron; Greek Kedrinos/Cedrenus and Russian Kedrina appear as family-name counterparts. Short forms such as Ked or Rin sometimes arise in modern use.
