Meaning & Story
A mathematical term meaning 'own' or 'proper' in German, also used as a name.
Eigen is a science-nerd dream of a pet name. It comes from German and lives most famously in linear algebra (eigenvalue, eigenvector), but it also works as a clean, modern name on its own. Perfect for the dog of a math person, an engineer, or anyone who finds beauty in equations. It sounds smart without trying too hard.
