<p>Harlen is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Harlan, derived from Old English elements 'here' meaning 'army' and 'land,' together conveying 'army land' or 'land of the warriors.' Less frequently, it may be considered a variation of Harlem, the famous New York City neighborhood. While not as common as the Harlan spelling, Harlen offers a slightly softer phonetic quality with the 'e' instead of 'a' in the second syllable. The name emerged in America particularly in the early to mid-20th century, though it has always remained relatively uncommon. Harlen carries connotations of strength and ruggedness with a touch of vintage appeal, fitting well with the revival of classic masculine names.
