Niren is in Origin.

Niren is a masculine given name from South Asia, most commonly in Bengali and Assamese communities. It is widely explained as deriving from Sanskrit nīra/neer, “water,” yielding senses such as “of the water,” “pure,” or “life-giving.” In everyday Indo-Aryan languages, neer means water, reinforcing associations of clarity, calm, and sustenance. The name can also serve as a hypocoristic of Sanskritic compounds beginning with Nir-, notably Nirendra and Niranjan, so meaning may reflect those roots as well.

Documented use rose across the 20th century in India and Bangladesh and now appears in the global diaspora. Variant spellings and relatives include Neer, Nīren (with long ī in Sanskritised transliteration), Niran (often separate in Thai or Hebrew contexts), and longer forms Nirendra, Niranjan, and Nirankar. Feminine counterparts include Nira and Neera. Nicknames include Neer and Niru. Overall, Niren offers a concise, traditional sound with a quietly elemental meaning.
