Macen is an uncommon, yet appealing given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the ancient Irish surname 'Mac Cian', which means 'son of Cian'. This name has a strong historical connection, as it is believed to have been borne by several prominent figures in early Irish history. Macen is often associated with the legendary warrior Cianna mac Dáire, who was known for his bravery and valor. Today, while not widely used, this unique name continues to evoke images of ancient Ireland and its rich cultural heritage.
The name Macen was quite rare during 2004 with only five babies being named Macen that year.
