If baby’s coos are birdsong to your ears, you may have found the perfect title for your bright-eyed wonder. Deryn is a feminine name of Welsh origin, from Aderyn, meaning “bird,” whose use dates back to the 1950s. Despite its dawn in a vintage era, Deryn has a modern appeal with its chic “y” spelling and calming pronunciation. In Welsh and Celtic mythology, birds often symbolize the flight of spirits to the Otherworld. The Adar Rhiannon (“birds of Rhiannon”) are three magical birds that can awaken the deceased and entice the living to sleep with their enchanting song. A name with such mystical endearments will surely inspire baby Deryn to always seek out the magic in every adventure.
