It is composed of two elements: 'ehr' meaning honor or respect, and '-en' signifying an adjective suffix in Germanic languages. The name Ehren has been traditionally used as a masculine given name but can also be used for females due to its unisex nature. In the past few decades, it has gained some popularity as a unique choice among parents looking for uncommon yet meaningful names for their children.
