Word origin
The word 'glen' originates from the Scottish Gaelic word 'glean', meaning a narrow valley. Glens are common in Scotland and Ireland, where they have been shaped by glaciers and rivers over thousands of years. These natural features have inspired poets and writers, and many place names in these regions include the word 'glen'. The name 'Glen' has Celtic origins and remains a popular choice for boys in English-speaking countries.
