Jeno Origin and Meaning

The name Jeno is a boy's name of Greek origin.

Jeno is a masculine name with Hungarian origins, being the Hungarian form of Eugene, which derives from the Greek name Eugenios meaning "well-born" or "noble." In Hungary, it's pronounced YEH-no, though in English-speaking countries it may be pronounced JEH-no. The name gained some international recognition through Jeno Hubay, a famous Hungarian violinist and composer. It's also recognized as the name of the founder of Jeno's Pizza (later becoming Totino's). While common in Hungary throughout the 20th century, Jeno remains quite rare in English-speaking countries. The name's simplicity, coupled with its distinctive international character, gives it a unique appeal for parents seeking something uncommon yet pronounceable.
