Amryn is a girl's and boy's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Amrin or Amreen, possibly from the Arabic amr, meaning 'command' or 'life,' or alternatively a feminine form of Amr, meaning 'one who lives long.'
The '-yn' ending gives this Arabic-rooted name a modern, Anglicized feel while keeping its phonetic heart intact. For families seeking a name that bridges cultural heritage and contemporary American naming sensibilities, Amryn offers both in a compact, melodic package.
