Stern or severe; also associated with the rowan tree.
Sorren is a variant of the Danish and Norwegian name Søren, which ultimately derives from the Roman family name Severus. While its primary root means 'stern,' it is also frequently associated with the Old Norse word for the rowan tree in modern contexts. It offers a softer, more accessible spelling for English speakers than the traditional Scandinavian form.
