Arzen is a boy's baby name of Kurdish origin, meaning 'silver' in the Kurdish language spoken across Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran. In Kurdish culture, precious metals used as given names carry aspirational meaning — silver is valued, beautiful, and enduring. Arzen has a clean, bright sound that translates naturally to Western ears while remaining distinctly Kurdish in heritage.
Rare outside Kurdish communities, Arzen is a name of understated elegance — silver, not gold, because silver has its own particular beauty.
