Taryn

I don't know what Taryn means, but Walsh is a somewhat common surname which, if I remember my Ethnic Studies professor correctly, means Welsh, i.e., someone from Wales. It is somewhat common in Ireland and Great Britain (Scotland, Wales, England, etc.). I think, perhaps, Australia and other former British colonies have Walsh as a common surname, but I may be wrong about that.
