Euen Origin and Meaning

The name Euen is a boy's name.

Euen is a masculine name with Scottish Gaelic origins, variant of Ewen or Ewan. It derives from the ancient Gaelic name 'Eóghan' meaning 'born of the yew tree' or 'youth.' The yew tree held symbolic significance in Celtic culture, representing immortality and strength. While less common than its variants Ewan or Owen, Euen maintains a distinctive charm with its traditional Scottish heritage. The name has remained relatively uncommon in modern usage, giving it a unique quality for parents seeking something traditional yet distinctive. In Scottish history, the name has appeared among clan names and historical figures, though it has never achieved widespread popularity outside of Scottish communities.
