Re: Does anyone know what my name means?
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 :-)

Another theoryWhat about a takeoff of Terran, as in someone who lives on Terra III, a.k.a Earth? Dictionary.com says Terra means "earth, land".Kind of like Eartha, only not.Miranda
