Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Hebrew, probably from the Bible (1 Chronicles 2:25).
Oren is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin meaning 'pine tree' or 'ash tree,' from the Hebrew word for the evergreen. In the Bible, Oren appears in 1 Chronicles as a son of Jerahmeel — a minor figure, but the name has been used in Israeli culture for centuries.
Oren is popular in Israel today and increasingly chosen by American parents who appreciate its natural imagery and clean, two-syllable sound. It has the grounded quality of nature names like Ash, Cedar, and Rowan, but with deep biblical roots.
