Meaning and history
Odhrán is an Irish masculine name formed from odhar, meaning “dun-coloured,” “pale,” or “sallow,” with a diminutive suffix, and is often interpreted as “little pale one.” Saint Odhrán of Iona was a companion of Saint Columba and is associated with one of the island’s oldest burial grounds. Another Saint Odhrán is linked with Waterford. A notable modern bearer is Irish actor Odhrán Lynch. The accent marks the long vowel in Irish.
