Ancestor's relic or inheritance
Olen is a Scandinavian name derived from the Old Norse name Ólafr. It shares the same etymological roots as the more common Olaf, signifying a connection to one's ancestors and the legacy they leave behind. In the United States, it was most popular in the early 20th century and now carries a distinct vintage appeal.
