They are all onomatopoeic words - words that depict and mimic movements or conditions. "Guririn" is a bit unusual, but all others describe something lightweight, like feathers or flower petals, falling . "Guririn" adds a bit of speed, as it something is falling very fast in a circular motion.

gur[i]rin is from guri-guri-to[グリグリと] (no guri-gurin) hararin also from harari[はらり] and hara-hara-to[はらはらと] if different word "gur[u]rin" from gururi-to[ぐるりと].
+nn[ん] style is not unusual make two different meanings one is motion moving/action like "-ing" but not valid for all onomatope words just +nn matched words not a lot. ex) pikarin from pikari or pika-pika, kirarin[きらりん] from kirari or kira-kira sometime more meaning stronger "-っ![-'!]" plus as one word like kirarin'! [きらりんっ!]
Other one is be soft/cute/friendly/child-like as instead "-san/-chan". That anime/manga chara(also real human/pet/tools) names are so. Girls name nick not only -nn "-rin/-chin/-tan" instead a lot. ex) Ryota(boy name) is "Ryota-n", Sho(boy name) is "Sho-tan/-chin" Misa(girl name) is "Misa-rin/-chin/-tan"
