What does Aspen mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: English

Aspen takes its name from the aspen tree, known for leaves that flutter and tremble in even a light breeze thanks to their flattened stems. The word is also familiar as the name of the Colorado mountain town famous for skiing, which has helped popularize Aspen as a given name.

Aspen has a crisp, outdoorsy feel — a natural pick for a pet who thrives on fresh air, mountain trails, and cold-weather adventures.
