Ryan: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Ryan Baby Name

The meaning of the name Ryan is ‘little king’ or ‘illustrious’.

Ryan is an English-language given name of Irish origin, and is used by both males and females.

It comes from the Irish surname Ryan, which in turn comes from the Old Irish name ‘Rian’ meaning ‘little king’ or ‘illustrious’.

Although considered to be an ancient name, the original meaning has never been confirmed by a concrete source.

In ancient Ireland the name may have been bestowed in order to imply some type of ‘royal’ stature within the chiefdoms or clans; thus, can mean ‘little red one’, red being a colour that signified great wealth and esteem.

The surname may find one of its roots in a 10th century Irish King Rían of a territory in South Leinster; the clan name was later anglicized to Ryan and the surname is still quite popular in Ireland today.

Famous people who share the name Ryan:

Ryan Seacrest (entertainer); Ryan Phillippe (actor); Ryan Reynolds (actor); Ryan Braun (baseball player); Ryan Getzlaf (hockey player).
