Almen is Albanian, Swedish in Origin.

Almen is a rare given name with North European roots. In Swedish (and in Norwegian Bokmål), almen is the definite form of alm, meaning elm tree, a word long embedded in surnames and place-names; as a forename it begins to appear in modern records from the late 20th century, often adopted from a family surname or chosen for its nature meaning. The name also overlaps with Dutch and German place and family names, giving it a broader Northern profile rather than a single point of origin.

The primary meaning is elm, a tree associated with endurance, shelter, and steadiness. Usage today is typically masculine but can be unisex. Variant and related forms seen in records include Almen (standard), Almén (Swedish surname spelling), and Alman/Alleman or Aleman along family-name lines; Elman is a modern cognate-like reinterpretation. Short nicknames such as Al or Men occur.
