Gannen is Japanese in Origin.

Gannen is a modern given name most commonly understood as a spelling variant of the Irish surname Gannon. That surname has two Gaelic sources: Mac/Mag Fhionnan, meaning "descendant of Fionnan" (from fionn, "fair, bright"), and O Gamhnain, derived from gamhain, "calf," used figuratively for a youth. As with many Irish surnames, it emerged in medieval Gaelic Ireland and later became Anglicized, then repurposed as a first name in the contemporary era.

Used in the United States, Canada, and Australia since the late 20th century, Gannen fits the stylish surname-as-given-name trend and carries meanings interpreted as "fair-haired" or "young one." Close variants include Gannon, Ganan/Ganon, and Gannan; related given names tied to its roots are Fionnan (Finnian) and Finn. Short forms such as Gan are rare. The name's uncommon -en ending gives it a softer look than Gannon while preserving Irish heritage appeal.
