orine- female

unusual name. white? pine tree? two lions? east? golden? of star? japanese prayer bell? cooler by the minute

oren is hebrew for pine tree
but more interestingly-

Oran, Orin, Orran, Orrin, and Orren meaning pale or white are variations of the popular Irish Saint Odhran (pronounced O-rawn) who was the chariot driver of St. Patrick and died protecting him on his mission to convert pagans to Christianity circa 550 AD.

All variations are Gaelic - a Celtic language spoken by the Gaels. Gaelic is mainly spoken by about 500,000 Gaels in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Northeastern US, Canada, and the Isle of Man.
