Jeno is Hungarian in Origin.

Jeno is the diacritic-free form of the Hungarian name Jenő, the local equivalent of Eugene. It ultimately traces to Greek Eugénios/Eugenēs, meaning “well-born” or “noble,” via Latin Eugenius. The name gained broad currency in Hungary through Christian and humanist influence and was especially common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notable bearers include violin virtuoso Jenő Hubay, Olympic fencer Jenő Fuchs, and writer Jenő Rejtő, anchoring the name in Hungarian cultural history.

International variants and related forms include Eugene (English), Eugène (French), Eugen (German, Romanian, Slovak), Evžen (Czech), Eugenio/Eugénio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Eugeniusz (Polish), and Yevgeny/Evgeny (Russian), with Hungarian feminine counterpart Eugénia. The spelling Jeno is often used outside Hungary when diacritics are dropped. Modern pop culture has also introduced Jeno as a Korean given name in romanization, though that usage is etymologically unrelated to the Hungarian/Greek line.
