With its soft sounds, its unisex appeal, and its nature connection, Rowan has become a very popular name for both boys and girls, given to nearly four boys for every girl. The Rowen variation maintains the same gender split but is much less popular for both sexes, with nearly four times as many babies named Rowan as Rowen.
 
The name likely comes from the tree of the same name, whose name comes from Old Norse, and means "to redden". Commonly found in Scotland, rowan trees are steeped in symbolism, said to warn off witches and provide life and protection. The alternative origin of Rowan is via the Irish name Ruadhán, meaning “little redhead" - so either way, you've got a "red" feeling name. 
The Rowen spelling began to make moves upwards in the early 2010s and while it does now rank in the US and UK Top 1000 names for boys, it has never broken into the charts for girls.
