Ganen is a multicultural masculine given name with at least two credible roots. In South Asia, especially Bengali and Assamese contexts, it functions as a clipped form of Ganendra/Ganender (from Sanskrit gana "host, retinue" + indra "lord"), an epithet associated with Shiva and Ganesha; the sense is "lord of the hosts" or "leader of assemblies." As a familiar form it appears in regional records and literature from the late 19th century onward.

In Hebrew usage, Ganen can represent an alternate transliteration of Gonen (גונן), from the root g-n-n "to shield, protect," yielding the meaning "protector" or "defender." This modern Israeli given name/surname rose in the mid-20th century. Variants and related forms include Ganan, Gannen, Ganendra, Ganender, and Ganeshan on the Indic side, and Gonen or Magen in Hebrew. Though sometimes confused with Irish Gannon, Ganen is etymologically distinct.
