Sven - The Name

Sven is an old Nordic (Scandinavian) word for young man (also: youthful, juvenile, young, boy). It is not only popular in Sweden, Norway or Denmark, but also in the Netherlands and Germany. Another source even mentions an Arabic heritage.

Did you know... What is a Sven like? Although I dont believe in horoscopes, especially ones relating to a single name, this one describes me in a quite accurate way.

A great source for popular first names in Germany including their meaning and famous people bearing the name is the DUDEN Vornamen Lexikon.
