Tarren is a modern unisex given name in the English-speaking world, most often treated as a variant of Welsh Taran “thunder.” The Welsh root appears in medieval records and place‑names, and the given name has seen periodic revival in Wales and beyond. As a forename, Tarren began to surface more widely from the late 20th century, paralleling the popularity of similar forms like Taryn and Taron, and occasionally overlapping with the English surname Tarrant.

Variants include Tarran, Taran, Taron, Taryn, Terran, and Terren. The likely meaning is “thunder,” suggesting power, vitality, and dramatic presence. Some modern bearers also associate Tarren with Terran (Latin terra, “earth”), lending an alternate, sci‑fi‑tinged reading of “of the earth.” The name is used for both boys and girls; short forms such as Tar or Ren occur. Spelling flexibility keeps Tarren contemporary while rooted in Celtic tradition.
