Owen

Owen is a Welsh name derived from the Latin Eugenius, itself from the Greek Eugenios, meaning well-born or of noble origin. The name was borne by several early Welsh princes and saints, most notably Owain of Rheged, a sixth-century warrior king celebrated in Arthurian legend and medieval poetry. Its Latin form Eugene spread widely across Europe, while the Gaelic equivalent Eoghan developed independently in Ireland and Scotland. Owen remains common in Wales and the English-speaking world today.
