Comments for the name Belén

Pronounced beh-LEN. [noted -ed]

Bethlehem derives from the Hebrew Bayt Lahm.

This is a character in Bloomability, YAY! Sadly in the database there is no: Crick, Santolina, Keisuke, or Guthrie. OUTRAGEOUS!

I've also seen this used on males, oddly enough. Probably not very common though. ;)

Another meaning for the name is Greek, "arrow".

Ana Belén was a very popular combo for girls in Spain during the 70's and early 80's. I think its popularity stems from singer and actress Ana Belén.

Belen is a character in the play Anon(ymous), written by Naomi Iizuka. Belen and her father are immigrants to the United States from Central America. Her father is dead (a ghost), and later in the play Belen dies as well, in a truck crash that the protagonist somehow survives.

Belén Rueda was the actress in the lead role in the film, The Orphanage.

My older sister's name is Belen. I myself am not a huge fan (it's a nice name) but whenever I tell anyone, they always compliment on how nice it sounds.

This name is so pretty! I love that it came from the city of Bethlehem=) I would pronounce it like (Bay Lynn).
