Welcome to Nameberry!
This thread might be a good place to post this name if you wanted it added to the site.
Through a quick google search, it looks like Rorin might have some historical roots as a surname with Norman origin, either a variant of Radulphus (Rolf/Ralph) or a baptismal name meaning ‘son of Rowland’, with early records in England and a few families in the US and UK in the 19th century. Although of course, I do not know how accurate any of this is.
Otherwise, if you just want others’ thoughts: I think Rorin is really intriguing! It feels strong and noble, as you describe, and has that same melodic charm as Rory without being too common. It also feels modern and fresh while still honoring heritage. Overall, it’s distinctive, memorable, and has a lot of character, exactly the kind of name that stands out for a boy!
