Dalen
Meaning of Dalen
Dalen, pronounced DAY-luhn (/deɪlən/), derives from the Old English “dael,” meaning “valley,” and carries an unassuming depth reminiscent of the serene river basins of Fars and Kerman. Over the past eight decades in the United States, it has maintained a modest profile—first appearing in the early 1940s with just five registrations, rising to a peak of seventy-five newborns in 2010 (rank 812), and settling into the lower 900s with seventeen occurrences in 2024 (rank 907). In Persian sensibility, the name evokes quiet resilience, akin to the patient flow of the Karun through lands once praised by Hafez, offering an enduring melody rather than a fleeting refrain. It is neither a runaway bestseller nor a wallflower in the registry, but its steady presence reflects an analytical harmony between familiar Anglo roots and a subtle global resonance.
