Paulen Origin and Meaning

The name Paulen is a boy's name.

Paulen is a masculine name derived from the Latin name 'Paulus,' meaning 'small' or 'humble.' It's a variant spelling of the more common Paulin or Paulino, sharing the same roots as Paul. This uncommon variation has Germanic influences in its spelling pattern. Paulen has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries but maintains a steady, if rare, presence in some European regions. The name carries the gravitas associated with its ancient Roman roots while offering a slightly different sound from the more common Paul. Its rarity makes it appealing to parents seeking a traditional name with a unique edge that still honors family members named Paul.
