Nyren is in Origin.

Nyren is a rare given name that most likely evolved from the English surname Nyren. As a family name it is recorded in southern England, notably borne by the famed Hambledon cricketer Richard Nyren (1734–1797) and his son, John Nyren, author of The Cricketers of My Time. As a first name, Nyren has seen sporadic, modern use in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, fitting the broader trend of repurposing surnames as given names.

Its precise etymology is uncertain. Some researchers link it to the Swedish surname Nyrén, with the accent dropped in Anglicized forms; in Swedish, ny means “new” and ren can mean “clean/pure,” associations that contemporary namers sometimes embrace, though the original surname may be ornamental rather than literal. Variants and related forms include Nyron, Nyrin, and Niren; the accented Nyrén appears in Scandinavian contexts. Short forms include Ny and Ren. The name is generally considered unisex.
