Meaning and background

The story behind Ren

Ren can represent several Japanese personal-name characters, including a lotus or romantic love in the reference, with other kanji also possible. Those meanings are alternatives determined by writing, not qualities every Ren name combines. A dog owner honoring a particular person should preserve that person's intended characters where known. If only the Latin spelling is chosen for its sound, the profile should leave the exact Japanese meaning open.

Origin
Japanese personal-name reading with multiple kanji-dependent meanings, including lotus and romantic love. Source
