Meaning:Well-born
Though you may think it's missing an -e, the masculine name Eugen is just as refined without it. As a German, Romanian, and Slavic variant of Eugene, Eugen stems from Eugenios, a Greek title meaning "well-born." While this phrase may have once described someone of aristocratic birth, your Eugen will know that true nobility comes from treating others with respect and living authentically. Perhaps they'll learn these qualities by watching you and other loved ones, continuing the legacy of kindness and integrity started by those who came before them.
