Primarily a boy's name of Hebrew origin with 89 recorded births. Also given to 44 girls.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Liron, you're looking at a name that fewer than 89 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The solid, balanced ending gives Liron a direct, strong feel that works well in both playground and boardroom.
In the most recent SSA release, Liron ranks #13402 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Liron is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, from the Hebrew meaning 'my song' or 'my joy.' In Hebrew, combining 'li' (to me, mine) with 'ron' (song, joy) creates a name of intimate personal happiness — the song that belongs to me.
Liron is a name of beautiful simplicity — carrying all the joy of music, expressed in the most personal of terms.
EtymologyShow more
In the American context, Liron is a boy's name with several decades of recorded use (1992–2024). Its Hebrew roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
Today, Liron is an active part of the American naming landscape (ranked #13402), continuing to accumulate its own cultural meaning with each new child who carries it.
