Odron is Irish in Origin.

Odron is a modern Anglicized form most plausibly linked to the Irish Gaelic Odhrán/Ódhrán (also Odrán), a medieval name borne by two early saints: Odrán of Iona, a sixth-century companion of Columba, and Odrán, St. Patrick’s charioteer and martyr. The Gaelic root odhar means “dun, sallow, gray-brown,” sometimes poetically “pale green,” combined with the diminutive -án, giving the sense “little dun/greenish one.” As spelling moved from Irish and Scots Gaelic into English, forms like Odran and Oran became common; Odron fits the same pattern, substituting -on for -an.

Variants and related forms include Odhrán/Ódhrán, Odrán/Odran, Oran, Orin, and the Scottish Òran (often conflated with the Gaelic word for “song”). Odron remains rare but aligns with contemporary tastes for streamlined, two-syllable Celtic names. Not to be confused with French Odilon or Lithuanian Audronis/Audronė, which are etymologically unrelated.
