History & Origin

Zenin is a recent American coinage without a documented root. Its sound calls up Zen, the school of Buddhism whose name goes back through Chinese and Japanese to a Sanskrit word for meditation, and Zeno, a name from Greek antiquity. Zenin itself carries no settled meaning, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ZEN-in').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined, and calm-sounding.

Did you know? Zenin carries the sound of Zen — a Buddhist school whose name traces back to a word for meditation — though the name itself is a modern coinage, which we note honestly.
