Belen Name Meaning, Origin and Popularity

2 Min Read

The Filipino and Spanish origins, make Belen a stunning and attractive gender-neutral name. It literally translates to “Bethlehem” or “house of bread” in Hebrew, which is the name of the city where the Bible says Jesus was born.

The unusual meaning of “house of bread” for a baby’s name not only evokes thoughts of delicious challah castles or baguette bungalows, but it is also an effective metaphor for an abundant supply of something.

If you give your child the name Belen, they will grow up with the knowledge that they are the (metaphorical) house of abundance to which their loved ones may always turn for nourishment.
