Kerren is English, Irish in Origin.
Kerren is a modern given name with layered roots. As a respelling of Hebrew Keren (keh-REN), it carries the meanings “ray (of light)” and “horn,” extending by association to “radiance” and “strength.” The biblical Keren-happuch - one of Job’s three daughters - has kept the Hebrew form in circulation, and Anglicized spellings like Kerren appear in English-speaking countries.
In Cornwall and wider Britain, Kerren is also read as a clipped or adapted form of Kerensa/Kerenza, the Cornish word for “love,” while in Australia, the UK, and South Africa it sometimes blends with Kerry-based creations (Kerrin, Kerryn, Kerin). Related variants include Keren, Kerrin, Kerin, Kerryn, Keryn, and Kerenza/Kerensa. Use has been modest since the late 20th century, and the name is generally unisex. Depending on the chosen root, Kerren can mean “radiance/strength” or “love.”
