Lorcan

Meaning of Lorcan

Pronounced LOHR-kən, Lorcan is a lively Irish name that feels like a sunbeam breaking through morning mist. It comes from the Gaelic lorcán, meaning “little fierce one.” That spark of warrior strength jumps right off the tongue. Picture a boy with an invisible lorica—Latin for armor—around his heart, ready for grand adventures. Lorcan suggests courage, playful daring, and a spirit that whispers ad astra per aspera, through hardships to the stars. And he might even out-roar the family puppy on his second birthday. This name dances into the air and inspires families to embrace each moment. Carpe diem, little Lorcan!
