Spear friend or holy name
Jeren is a rare name with multiple potential roots. It is often considered a modern variation of Jaren or Jeron, but it also appears in Central Asian cultures (Turkmen) where it refers to a gazelle. In a Western context, it is frequently treated as a blend of Germanic elements meaning spear and friend.
