Fair-haired or from the winding river
Carron is a name with dual roots, likely derived from the Gaelic 'fionn' meaning fair or white, or as a habitational name referring to the River Carron in Scotland. The river's name is thought to stem from a Celtic word meaning 'stony' or 'winding'. It is a rare surname-turned-first-name with a distinctively Scottish heritage.
