Rajen is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Rajen is an Indian masculine given name with Sanskrit roots. It stems from rājan, meaning "king" or "ruler," and often serves as a clipped regional form of Rajendra, a compound of rāja ("king") and Indra ("lord"), yielding the sense "lord of kings." The name appears across Indo-Aryan languages and is especially familiar in Assamese and Bengali communities, where -en endings are common in affectionate or shortened forms.
In use since the late 19th to early 20th century, Rajen spread with the South Asian diaspora to Fiji, Mauritius, Guyana, and South Africa. Variants and cognates include Rajan, Rajendra, Rajinder (Punjabi), and the diminutives Raj and Raja; related feminine counterparts include Rajni/Rajani (semantically distinct). Rajen carries connotations of leadership, dignity, and success while remaining compact and approachable, making it well suited to bilingual contexts.
