Orin
Orin, or Orrin, is an anglicised spelling of the Irish given name "Odran", traditionally spelled "Odhran" and more recently spelled "Oran"). In Irish, it is pronounced "O-rawn" or "O-rin".
The name means one of the following in Old Irish:
- dark-haired, derived from the word otteran, "otter" in Irish, which is generally accepted as the correct meaning
- little pale green one
- white, likely Scottish
- river, probably confused with the Irish given name Aran, which has a similar pronunciation. There is a River Orrin in Scotland.
