Bryon is an English given name derived from the Old French and Old English surname Byron, itself traced to a Germanic place-name element meaning "at the byres" or "at the cattle sheds," referring to a farm settlement. The name gained wider use as a given name largely through admiration for the English Romantic poet George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, whose dramatic life and literary fame made the surname aspirational as a forename in the nineteenth century. Bryon is a variant spelling of the more common Byron, and both forms share the same origin and cultural associations.
