Elmen is a name of Norwegian origin, derived from the Old Norse word 'álmr', meaning 'elm tree'. It's a unisex name, though more commonly used for males in Norway. The name gained popularity due to its association with the legendary saga hero, Elmar, from the Volsunga Saga.
The name Elmen was quite uncommon during its peak year of 1918 with only five recorded births that year. Overall, there were just five babies named Elmen born within this period.
