Baren

Barran Name Meaning
English (Yorkshire): possibly a nickname from Middle English bar(r)ain bar(r)en baran ‘barren’ (Old French barain baraigne). As a hereditary surname the sense ‘destitute poor worthless’ seems more likely than ‘sterile childless’. Galician (Barrán): habitational name from any of the three places so called in Ourense province (Galicia Spain). This surname is also found in Biscay (Basque Country). Americanized form of Polish Czech or other Slavic Baran .
