Dagen

Meaning of Dagen

Dagen tiptoes onto the stage like a sliver of sunrise, its Old English and Old Norse roots whispering tales of dawn and fresh beginnings. This unisex charmer—‘DAY-gen’ in English, ‘DAH-gen’ in German—carries the sparkle of morning dew and the promise of a new chapter. It’s the kind of name that could belong to a pint-sized explorer setting off on a backyard safari in a Boston suburb or a budding poet scribbling verses by candlelight in a cozy London mews. Warmly familiar yet refreshingly unexpected, Dagen brings a playful wink to tradition—naming your little one after daylight itself, with all the brightness and none of the glare.
