Svilen

Svilen is a male given name almost exclusively used in Bulgaria, (Cyrillic: "Свилен")

The female equivalent is Svilena (Cyrillic: Свилена)

Origin

The name Svilen, was taken from the Bulgarian word "svila" (Cyrillic: "Свила") or silk. As a result the name refers to "silken", it maybe used in many senses as an adjective other than a name.

The word itself "svila" originated from Serbo-Croatian. The word is mentioned in the epic Serbian poem, "The Maiden of Kossovo"; the line reads "Svilen kalpak". This may be translated as "Silken Cap".
