Arnen is in Origin.

Arnen is a rare modern given name most plausibly built on the Germanic element arn- "eagle," familiar from Scandinavian Arne and composite names like Arnold. The -en ending functions as a gentle suffixal shaping found in northern European naming, giving Arnen a contemporary sound while still anchored in Old Norse and Proto-Germanic roots. Its form also brushes against English surnames-turned-given-names such as Arden and Arlen. Though similar to Hebrew Arnon/Arnan, those are etymologically separate.

Documented use is sporadic from the late 20th century onward, primarily in English-speaking contexts and occasionally in Nordic settings among families seeking a distinctive alternative to Arne. Variants and close relatives include Arne, Arni, Arno, Arna (feminine), and the stylistic cousins Arlen and Arden; diminutives Arnie or Ari are natural nicknames. On etymological grounds, Arnen carries the sense "eagle," a long-standing symbol of keen sight and strength in Germanic name lore.
