Skeen

The Skeen surname has English origins and is derived from the Old English word “sceaga,” meaning “copse” or “thicket.” The name was likely given to someone who lived near or worked in such an area. Alternatively, it may have been a nickname for someone who was seen as shrewd or cunning, as “skeen” can also mean “sharp” or “keen.” Today, the Skeen surname is found throughout the English-speaking world, with notable individuals including American football player Marcus Skeen and British artist Annabel Eyres (née Skeen).
