Poirian

Poirian is a surname of French origin. It is typically understood to derive from the French word poire, meaning pear, or from poirier, the pear tree, with the suffix -an forming a habitational or ethnonymic tint. The name likely originated as a toponymic or occupational designation for someone living near a pear orchard or working with pear trees. Poirian is attested in France and among francophone communities abroad, with distribution patterns that vary by region and migration history.

In addition to its use as a family name, Poirian appears in fictional or hypothetical contexts as a place name or demonym. Some authors and worldbuilders have employed Poirian to evoke a French-influenced or agrarian setting in invented geographies. Because these uses are not tied to a specific real-world entity, Poirian’s meaning outside of names and fiction remains primarily in the realm of language and imagination.
