Calen is an Irish and Scottish gender-neutral name embodying the ancient hallmarks of enduring strength and beauty. Said to stem from the Greek elements nike and laos, meaning “victory of the people,” Calen is a Scottish form of the jolly title Nicholas.

Whether you wish to inspire bravery and determination or connect them to their heritage, baby Calen will have every confidence in your adoration.
