  • Choose Zen for your son and give him a name that's a daily reminder of peace, balance, and mindfulness. In just three letters, this name packs incredible philosophical depth while remaining refreshingly simple and modern. It's impossible to say without feeling a sense of calm wash over you. Your child will carry a name that suggests inner strength, wisdom beyond years, and a centered approach to life's challenges. The uniqueness factor is strong—he won't share his name with three other boys in his class—yet it's instantly recognizable and easy to spell. Zen bridges Eastern philosophy with contemporary Western naming trends, making it perfect for families who value both tradition and innovation.
