The name Lacen has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in France and some English-speaking countries like Canada and Australia. However, it remains relatively uncommon compared to more traditional names.
The name Lacen experienced a gap in usage between 2010 and 2019, with no recorded births during those nine years before reemerging with five births each in 2010 and 2019 respectively, totaling ten children named Lacen born over this period.
