Origin:Greek
Other Origin(s):Irish
Meaning:Lover; Friend; Descendant of Faolán; Wolf
From the people they meet to the animals they care for, little Philens will be adored by all. While this gender-neutral moniker’s exact origins are somewhat unclear, there are two possibilities to consider. Philens could come from philos, a Greek word meaning “lover” or “friend.” Even if your tiny tot’s circle starts out small, they’ll soon add more companions to their crew! Some sources link Philens to the Irish last name Phelan. Translating to “descendant of Faolán” and “wolf,” Phelan could remind your Philens that they get their loyalty and kind-heartedness from you.
