The meaning of Orian, a masculine name.
Hello everyone,When I was watching the 2000 film "Shadow of the Vampire" several days ago, I noticed in the credits that one of the film's producers was named Orian Williams: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931410/ .I was intrigued by the name Orian and googled the name's meaning and origin afterwards, but I couldn't find any, unfortunately. I did find another bearer of the name, though (one that is probably better known), namely the American football coach Orian Landreth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orian_Landreth .I was wondering if anyone here has more information about the first name Orian? Myself, I'm guessing that it may possibly be a more phonetical spelling of Orion, or that it's an anglicised form of a rare Gaelic first name (or surname, even). I doubt the name is the anglicised form of a Latin name, since it would then be Orianus in this case and I can't really find anything about such a Latin name.That's all, I think - it would be greatly appreciated if anyone here can shed more light on this name; thank you very much in advance.Sincerely,Lucille
