Kerron is Irish in Origin.
Kerron is a modern English given name most common in the Caribbean and among the African diaspora. It is widely regarded as a variant of Kieron/Kieran, the Anglicized form of Irish Ciarán, from ciar “dark, black” plus the diminutive -án, yielding the meaning “little dark one.” The spelling likely reflects phonetic styling in Caribbean English and may also be influenced by the Scottish surname Kerr or the parallel given name Keron.
Usage surged in the late 20th century, particularly in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, and the name functions as unisex. Notable bearers include Trinidadian-born American Olympic hurdler Kerron Clement and Jamaican sprinter Kerron Stewart. Variants and related forms include Keron, Kieron, Keiron, Kieran, and the original Irish Ciarán (Ciaran), with occasional spellings like Kerrin. Though rare in the UK and US naming charts, Kerron appears regularly in Caribbean records and sports rosters.
