What is the origin of the name Owen? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hawkee · 09-07-2020, 04:44 AM

Since the release of the Jurassic World movies I often wondered if the name Owen has become popular for boys? The only time I have heard of the name Owen is because of Owen Corning cookware. Where does the name Owen come from and what does it mean?

I also always known Owen to be a southerner's name and I have noticed that many southern people name their sons Owen most of the time. If I ever had a husband and had a son I would most likely name him Owen because of Jurassic World

The Welsh are British.

Wales is part of Great Britian, and the Welsh are British Citizens.

Hi, Bestie! Sounds like Somebody has a crush on Owen from Jurassic park. I bet you would like to "Owen" a life size poster of him.
