Edlen is in Origin.

Edlen is a rare given name with dual Germanic pathways. In English contexts it is often read as a streamlined form of Edlin/Edlyn, names built on Old English ead (“wealth, prosperity”) plus a diminutive ending, giving the sense “little prosperous one.” In Central and Northern Europe it aligns with the adjective edel (“noble”) - seen in historical phrases like der Edle (“the noble”) and in the Swedish surname Edlén - so Edlen is often interpreted simply as “noble.”

As a first name it surfaces sporadically from the 19th century in Britain and the United States, often as a respelling of Edlin/Edlyn or a modern blend from Ed- names (Edward, Edmund) with -len/-lyn. Variants include Edlin, Edlyn, Edelen, Edelin, and the Swedish-accented Edlén; related forms are Adeline/Edeline. Contemporary use is rare and largely unisex.
