Meaning & Origin
the West
Westen is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Weston, from the Old English words meaning 'western settlement' or 'from the west farm.' The -en ending gives it a slightly more modern, streamlined look than the traditional Weston.
Westen has the frontier spirit and open-space energy of cowboy-cool names like Ryder, Colton, and Easton. It's a name that sounds like wide horizons and golden light — distinctly American in its adventurous optimism.
