Wren

Famous architect's surname

A wren is a small, brown songbird known for its loud, complex song and its habit of holding its tail upright.

Wrens are found across much of the world, though the name originally referred to a single European species.

The bird's diminutive size makes wren a fitting descriptor for a small or slight person.

The tiny wren filled the garden with song. (Capitalized Wren is a given name.)
