Anden, of Scandinavian origin, is derived from the Old Norse 'Anund', which means 'peace'. It's composed of the elements 'ani' meaning peace and 'undr' signifying wonder. The name gained popularity in Sweden during the 20th century but remains relatively uncommon elsewhere. In its original form, Anden can be considered a variant of other Scandinavian names like Anders and Anund.
"The name Anden experienced its peak popularity in the early 2000s with a high of 68 births in 2004. However, there's been a steady decline since then, with only 8 births recorded in 2022 and 9 in 2023."
