Comments for the name Caryn

Here are some different meanings of Caryn:-
Irish Gaelic: A friend.
Cornish: Love.
Italian: The beloved one.
English: Pure.
Latin: Keel.

Caryn is actually pronounced "Ka-rin" not "KER-in". There is the same emphasis on both sylables.

Caryn was the given name of comedian Whoopi Goldberg.

I believe that in the US the name Caryn is pronounced similar to Karen, but my name is pronounced CAR-IN, more like the Corinne version of the name.

Why do people spell names with a Y replacing an I? This just drives me crazy when I see it. Karen or Caren or Carin or Karin, just not Caryn.

I simply adore this name. It's the only spelling variation of "Karen" that I like. It has a natural, fun, and intelligent feeling to it. Not to mention, with such an interesting spelling you're not likely to find too many kids in the same school with this name.

I like the name Caryn, it is a name not a lot of people have and it's pretty.
