Meaning & History

This name combines 林 (rin, hayashi) meaning "forest, grove", 倫 (rin) meaning "companion, ethics" or 麟 (rin) meaning "bright, Chinese unicorn, genius, giraffe, shining" with 平 (hyou, byou, hei, tai.ra, -daira, hira, hira-) meaning "even, flat, peace."

In modern times, it is rarely given to boys, if given at all.
