Myreon
A boy's name of Greek origin with 105 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Myreon peaked during the Millennial wave, when 10 babies received this name in a single year (1988). That era was defined by pop-culture-influenced, individuality-forward naming, and Myreon has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Myreon is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Myreon is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a variant of Myron, from the Greek myron, meaning 'myrrh, fragrant oil' — the precious aromatic resin used in ancient religious ceremonies and medicine. Myron was also a celebrated ancient Greek sculptor, famous for his Discobolus (Discus Thrower).
Myreon gives the classical Myron a slightly more flowing form with the -eon ending reminiscent of names like Gideon and Simeon. The fragrant myrrh meaning gives it a sensory, ancient richness.
