Of the sea; or a modern variant of Darren
Deryan is a rare name with two primary paths of origin. It is often used as a modern phonetic variant of the Irish name Darren, meaning 'little oak' or 'great.' Alternatively, it is sometimes associated with the Turkish word 'derya,' which means 'sea' or 'ocean.'
