What is the meaning of the name Taryn ?

Taryn is English, Irish in Origin.

Taryn is best treated as a modern English feminine coinage rather than an old Irish form. Its earliest well-publicized use is Taryn Stephanie Power, born in 1953 to Tyrone Power and Linda Christian, and the spelling appears to have been shaped by Tyrone and perhaps Tara. Tyrone is the Anglicized Irish place name Tír Eoghain, land of Eoghan; Tara reflects Old Irish Teamair/Teamhair, a royal hill name of uncertain sense, often glossed as elevated place.

After its celebrity introduction, Taryn entered the U.S. Top 1000 in 1974, reached its highest rankings in the 1980s, and fell off the list in the 2010s. Use has been most visible in English-speaking countries, especially the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. Spellings such as Taren, Tarryn, Tarynn, and Teryn occur. Bearers include actress Taryn Manning, artist Taryn Simon, and Australian soprano Taryn Fiebig; fiction includes Taryn Blake in Paper Dolls.
