The trajectory has been falling since 2020, and the name is most frequently used in Texas. While its exact origins are unclear, Rohen likely draws from the established name Rowan or similar contemporary formations, appealing to parents seeking a fresh but familiar-sounding choice.

The name Rohen first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2007, suggesting a modern coinage. It is likely a respelling of Rowan, which itself derives from Irish rúad meaning 'red' and has strong nature associations with the rowan tree.
