Masen

Boy name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Masen: 5 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2012.

Masen is a modern name of American origin, most likely a blend of Mason and Jason, or a variant of the surname Mason, which itself derives from the Old French "masson" meaning "stone worker." It has no deep historical roots but has gained visibility through pop culture, most notably as the middle name of Edward Cullen in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, a choice that popularised the name among fans. The name shares a sound with Mason, which is a prominent place name in Scotland, such as the village of Masons in Fife, though Masen itself has no direct place connections. A notable bearer is actor Masen Blair, known for independent films. In Scotland, Masen remains a rare, contemporary choice that feels fresh and understated.
