Renarin grew up with his family in Kholinar as the second son of the highprince. When he was born, Dalinar had been away on a military campaign and did not respond to [[Evi]]'s spanreed request for a name, and so Evi named her son herself. ''Renarin'' was a combination of the Riran name Re, and the Alethi words ''Nar'' ("like unto") and ''In'' ("to be born unto"). When Dalinar learned of this, he disliked the name, interpreting it as ''Like one who was born unto himself''.{{book ref|sa3|52}}
