Two options (click on the hyperlinks for meanings):

1) As Diana said, it's probably a variation of Taryn, which in turn is an elaboration of Tara.

2) It could be a contraction of Terri - Anne when on a girl, and an elaboration of Terry for a boy.

But my money is on a).

It probably isn't in our database simply because the site creator doesn't know which origin is correct - less common names don't get added to the site unless their origin can be fairly well established.

Hope that helps :-)

        • I'm a member too - the meanings/origins are generally unreliable :) - Merrimenthe  Aug 24 2004, 3:10:57 AM
          • I am also a member there. The name database is near-useless; The meanings are mostly way off. But the FORUMS - They are friendly, more mature than most, and very active...but not free. (nt) - Kandake  Aug 26 2004, 9:55:53 AM
