Ethen Origin and Meaning

The name Ethen is a boy's name.

Ethen is a modern variant spelling of the traditional name Ethan. While Ethan has Hebrew origins meaning 'strong,' 'firm,' or 'enduring,' Ethen emerged as an alternative spelling that maintains the same pronunciation. This variation gained modest popularity in the early 2000s as parents sought ways to personalize common names. Ethen offers the same biblical connections and strong meaning as its traditional counterpart but with a slightly distinctive appearance. Though less common than Ethan, which soared in popularity rankings during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Ethen appeals to parents who appreciate the traditional name's sound and meaning but desire a more unique spelling variant.
