Meaning & History
Variant form of ARIËN. The latter was the most popular of the two for many decades, until ARJEN began to rise in popularity in the late 1950s. Arjen eventually eclipsed Ariën and has been the most popular of the two ever since. Almost exactly the same fate befell the names ARIAN and ARJAN. Known Dutch bearers of this name include the professional soccer player Arjen Robben (b. 1984) and the television host Arjen Lubach (b. 1979).
