Origin: British

Meaning: Of the Orient; East; Rising sun

Orien is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin. Taken from the English word "orient," which comes from the Latin expression oriens, it means "of the Orient," "east," or "rising sun," sweetly symbolizing your little one's Far East heritage. For certain religions, east is a direction with a sacred meaning. The Mizrah, a religious plaque, is hung on the eastern wall of many Jewish homes. In the early Christian church, eastward prayer was an outward expression of belief in Jesus Christ's coming. Wherever life takes your Orien, let the name they carry be the compass that guides them.
