Little king or descendant of Rian
Ryun is a variant spelling of the Irish name Ryan, which is derived from the Gaelic name Rian. It is traditionally interpreted as meaning 'little king,' combining the word 'rí' (king) with a diminutive suffix. While rare in this specific spelling, it retains the strong, noble heritage of its more common counterpart.
