Warren (/ˈwɒrᵻn/) is a common English & Irish surname and a masculine given name derived from the French surname, "de Warenne", a reference to various places named La Varenne and Varennes. The placename is thought to be derived from the Old French warir or garir, from the Proto-Germanic war-, meaning "to protect or defend." Alternately, the derivation could be from the Gaulish word varenna, meaning "enclosed area," related to varros "post."
