Meaning & History
"Phiên" is a derivation of "Phiến", which means "land" or "world". A man named "Phiên" means that his parents hoped him to grow up and be a leader, or at least a wealthy man. However, "Phiên" is also a suggestion to his origin, since "Phiên" also means "a far away and uncultured land" in Vietnamese.
