Philomen is a unisex given name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word 'philómenos', which translates to "one who loves men" or more generally, "loving mankind". The name is composed of two elements: 'philo-' meaning love and '-men' meaning man or human. The name Philomen was borne by several saints in early Christian history, contributing to its popularity during the Middle Ages. Today, it is still a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
In 1917 alone, five individuals named Philomen were born. Over time, this sums up to a total of five births with that unique name.
