Let me make a wild guess: you are either of Greek origin of parents with a heavy Greek orientation:)
Vyron is the way Greeks pronounce Byron. The use of Vyron/Byron as a first name is quite common in Greece, as a tribute to Lord Byron. Lord Byron fought on the side of the Greeks during their war of liberation, and is considered a national hero :)

Pavlos , no I'm welsh not greek and have no greek orientation .
The only thing I've found is that it is a family name from south Wales (fathers side of family)
the rest of the famiy is from the North Wales
It's even stranger when you realise there is no V in the welsh language !!
Hence reason I'm having difficulty tracing it (Plus parents are divorced so can't really discover alot)
thanks anyway

Most interesting, Pavlos! (Hope your headache and sore throat have recovered since Sunday ... VBG)
Byron crops up quite frequently among youngish adults in South Africa and also it seems in New Zealand etc, but I suspect in these cases it's an updated version of Brian. Certainly the ones I've known and/or encountered have no Greek links.
It's also possible (though not in Greece, no doubt!) that the mothers of little boy babies might remember the most dishy and dashing of all Romantic poets and aspire to something of the same. Here in South Africa we've got a young man playing international football whose given name is Macbeth after his mother's favourite school setbook.
