Steen is a male given name of Danish origin, meaning "stone". It is often used as a nickname for people named after the city of Aarhus in Denmark, which has 'steen' (stone) in its name. This name became popular during the Viking Age and continues to be used today, particularly in Scandinavia.
The name Steen appears to have been moderately popular over the course of these years, with a total of 151 births recorded between 1950 and 2007. The highest number of births in any single year was ten, which occurred in 1990. There are several periods where the name's popularity seems to have waned, such as between 1968 and 1970 with no recorded births, but it experienced resurgences in later decades, notably in the mid-1990s.
