Coen

The name Coen originated as a Dutch surname derived from the personal name Coen, which is a short form of the Germanic name Conrad. Conrad is composed of the elements 'kuoni,' meaning 'brave,' and 'rat,' meaning 'counsel' or 'adviser.'

The name Conrad was introduced to the Netherlands by Germanic tribes during their migrations in the early Middle Ages. It became a popular name among the Dutch nobility and eventually spread to the general population.

As a given name, Coen has been used in the Netherlands and other Dutch-speaking regions since the Middle Ages. It has also gained some use as a masculine given name in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States and Canada.

While the name Coen has Dutch origins, it has been adopted and used across various cultures and regions, often with slight variations in spelling or pronunciation.
