Gen is a unisex given name of Latin origin, meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. It was popularized by the Roman poet Virgil in his epic work, The Aeneid, where Gen or Genius represents the spirit of the place. In various languages and cultures, the name Gen has been interpreted differently: as 'earth' in Latin, 'protector' in English, and 'wise' in Hebrew.
"Intriguing that the name had exactly six births in two different years, but none recorded between those years."
