The name Gryffin is a boy's name meaning "strong lord; mythical creature".

Rugged and ancient, but also very cool and on-trend, Gryffin is a variation of the Old Welsh name Gruffudd (or Griffith), whose usage is likely to be inspired by the mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.

While Griffin has been in the US Top 1000 since the 80s, Gryffin is used more quietly, with around 80 boys receiving the name each year
