Seren is the Welsh word for "star" — used as a given name in Wales for centuries, recently embraced widely. The same letters in Turkish (Seren) mean "calm and free," giving the name cross-cultural appeal.
Seren entered the top 100 girls' names in Wales in 2003 and has remained popular. Outside Wales it remains rare but is rising.
Seren reduces to nine — the number of Welsh starlight.
