Sen

Meaning of Sen

The name Sen is a unique and culturally rich choice for baby boys. Pronounced as "sen" (/sɛn/) in English, this name carries simplicity and elegance. It has roots in various cultures; in Japanese, "Sen" means "one thousand," symbolizing abundance and prosperity. In Bengali, it is a common surname derived from the Sanskrit word for "army." The name also appears in Vietnamese culture, where it means "lotus flower," representing purity and enlightenment. Despite its diverse origins, Sen remains relatively rare in the United States, with only a handful of occurrences each year. Notably, it ranked 6th at its peak in 1989 but has remained outside the top 10,000 names since then. This rarity adds to its charm, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child. Variations of the name include Sena, which can offer a slightly different yet equally appealing option.
