Zalen is a recently invented American name, and its origin and meaning are disputed and unsettled. Rather than assign it a history it does not have, the honest answer is that it carries no traditional sense.
The Z- start and even two-syllable rhythm give it a current, made-up-fresh feel that explains its appeal more than any meaning does.
Did you know? Zalen is a contemporary American creation, so its appeal comes from its crisp, modern sound rather than from any documented root.
