Rien

A slick short form of Marinus, Rien is a boy's name of Latin and Dutch origin. Derived from the Latin word marinus, Rien holds its meaning "of the sea." Formed from the very heart of the ocean, this harmonious name harbors within it unimaginable depths. A sweeping view of Marinus's history, and you can uncover the Ancient Greek geographer who discovered mathematical geography. Look further still, and you will find the saint who founded San Marino. Rien has the added benefit of a connection to Germanic names beginning with regin, thus giving Rien the meaning "advice," "council," and "decision." Clipped as Rien may be, the name holds boundless possibilities and hidden potential just waiting for baby to unleash.
