About Olen
Concise and worldly, Olen may be viewed as either an elaboration of Ole or a masculine form of Olena, both of which are Scandinavian names, ultimately derived from the Old Norse Óláfr. Alternatively, it is a Russian choice, derived from a surname meaning "eagle", a Finnish word meaning "I am", and a Dutch name and place name meaning "pebbly forest" or "light, stony woods".
Olen is also given to girls.
Pronounced OH-len.
As of October 2026, Olen ranked #4337 in US births in 1924 SSA.
