Guardian or watcher
Garen is most commonly associated with the Germanic root 'warin', meaning to guard or protect. It is often considered a variant of the name Gary or Gareth, though it has evolved as a distinct surname-style first name. In some contexts, it is also recognized as an Armenian name meaning 'short' or 'brief'.
