Karyn is a soft, sweet girl’s name of Greek origin. A twist on timeless Karen, which comes from Katherine, this lovely iteration translates to “pure,” earning its definition from the Greek expression katharos. Where Karen is famed for singers and songwriters—think The Carpenters—Karyn has plenty of its own superstars to excite your newest addition. Karyn Parsons from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of many Hollywood favorites.
