Axen is a unique and distinctive given name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old Norse word 'Askr' which means 'ash tree'. This moniker has gained popularity in recent years due to its modern sound and appealing spelling. It consists of three letters: A, x, and e, with the unusual letter 'x' adding an element of intrigue and individuality. Axen is often pronounced /ˈæk.sən/, rhyming with "hexen". This name appears to be unisex but is more commonly given to boys. As of now, its popularity remains relatively low, making it a fresh and uncommon choice for parents seeking an unconventional yet meaningful name for their child.
