Rolen, of Germanic origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name. Derived from the Old Norse words 'Hrōðr' meaning fame and 'mann' meaning man, Rolen translates to "famous warrior." It is a variant form of the name Roland, but with a unique twist that sets it apart. While not as widely recognized as its counterpart, Rolen holds its own charm and offers an interesting alternative for parents seeking a name that is both robust and uncommon.

The highest number of births recorded was in 2005 with 12 babies named Rolen, followed by peaks in 2019 and 2022 with 9 births each.
