Masen is English in Origin.

Masen is a modern American respelling of Mason, an English occupational surname that came from Anglo-Norman French maçon, meaning stonemason or stoneworker. Adopted into Middle English after the Norman Conquest, the term denoted a skilled builder of stone and, by extension, the name conveys ideas of craftsmanship, solidity, and construction.

Used as a given name primarily since the late 20th century, Masen tracks with the sharp rise of Mason across the English-speaking world. The Twilight series, in which the protagonist’s birth surname is Masen, helped familiarize this exact spelling in the late 2000s. Common variants and related spellings include Mason, Mayson, Maison, Maysen, Masyn, and Macen; nicknames such as Mase or Maz occur. Though predominantly masculine, it has occasional unisex use in North America. Masen therefore fits contemporary tastes for streamlined, surname-style first names while retaining a clear, traditional meaning: builder or one who works with stone.
