Acen is a unique and distinctive given name of uncertain origin. It has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States, likely due to its modern sound and versatile nature. Pronounced 'AY-sin', it consists of three letters with no clear etymology, making it an original choice for parents seeking an unusual yet appealing name for their child.
The name Acen experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past two decades, with a notable increase from 2007 onwards. Between 2004 and 2008, there were fewer than 20 births each year, but this trend reversed dramatically starting in 2009. From then until 2023, Acen was given to at least 30 babies annually, peaking at 53 births in 2017 and 41 births in 2023. Over the entire period, a total of 606 babies were named Acen.
