Numen Origin and Meaning

The name Numen is a boy's name.

Numen is a masculine name derived from Latin, where it referred to a divine presence or spirit, particularly the guiding force or deity that presides over a specific place or thing. In ancient Roman religion, 'numen' represented the divine will or power of a god. The name carries profound connotations of spiritual power, divine inspiration, and mystical energy. Numen remains quite rare as a given name, appealing to parents seeking names with philosophical depth and unusual character.
