Iskren

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Bulgarian

Meaning: Sincere, honest

Iskren is a masculine Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian name with Slavic origins, from the adjective ȉskren, meaning “sincere” and “honest.” While Iskren celebrates transparency, the word’s journey to becoming a personal name remains elusive. Iskren may be short for the surname Iskrenov, joining the trend of dapper surname-turned-first names some time ago. Regardless of where Iskren comes from, it lends a noble appellation for a sincere soul who wears their heart on their sleeve.
