A modern given name with layered roots, Dagen most often links to Scandinavian Dag/Dagr, Old Norse for "day," the personification of daylight in Norse myth.

As a given name, forms of Dag appear throughout medieval Scandinavia and Icelandic sagas, while Dagen itself surfaces in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward.

Other etymologies are sometimes invoked: Hebrew Dagan ("grain, abundance") and Irish Dagan ("little good one"), yielding overlapping variants. Related and variant forms include Dag, Dagr, Dagan, Daegan/Daegon, and the feminine Dagny. Meanings therefore center on "day, daylight," with secondary senses of "grain/abundance" or "good little one," depending on the lineage chosen.
