If short and sweet is the name of the game, then Alen could be the winning competitor for baby. This Celtic boy's name is an alternative way to spell Alan and means "noble," so baby will have no doubts about how much they’re loved. Alen could also mean "little rock," “peace,” and “harmony,” so it's perfect for encouraging your little buddy to embrace their inner strength and constancy. It may also refer to the Alans or Alani, an Iranian nomadic tribe. If that wasn't enough, this name has a third meaning, thanks to its Irish and Scottish roots. It's derived from álainn, which means “handsome” or “beautiful,” because who could ever get tired of baby's perfect little face?
