Thinking about the name
Aizen
Arabic (with possible Japanese cultural influence) origin
“A modern name with likely Arabic roots (Aiza-) combined with the -en suffix, or possibly influenced by Japanese anime culture (Aizen is a character in 'Bleach'). Aizen has a cool, slightly edgy contemporary feel that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive. The name works equally well in Arabic and English contexts.”
