Rupen is Armenian in Origin.

Rupen is a cross-cultural male given name with two principal lineages. In Armenian usage, it corresponds to Roupen/Ruben, a local form of Reuben (Hebrew Reʾuven, “behold, a son”). It was borne by medieval rulers of the Rubenid (Roupenian) dynasty of Cilician Armenia - most notably Roupen I - and remains familiar in the Armenian diaspora. Common variants include Roupen (Western Armenian), Ruben (Eastern Armenian and pan-European), and Rubén in Spanish and Latin American contexts.

Separately in South Asia, Rupen derives from Sanskrit rūpa (“form, beauty; appearance”), evoking attractiveness, grace, or preciousness; folk association with rūpya (“silver”) also colors its sense. It appears in Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, and Marathi naming, alongside close variants Rupan and related forms such as Rupam and Rupesh. Across traditions, Rupen carries connotations of valued appearance - a handsome son or one of fine form - while offering a familiar yet distinctive international profile.
