Kemen is of Hungarian origin, derived from the word 'kemény', which means hard or tough. It has been used as both a given name and a surname throughout history. The name gained popularity in Hungary during the Middle Ages and has since become quite common there. It is often seen as a unisex name, with some variations such as Kemén and Kémén being used for females. Despite its Hungarian roots, Kemen can be found among other European populations today due to migration and cultural exchange.
