Jen might be:
A Chinese name, a variant transliteration of rén (仁), the Confucian word for Humanity.
Jen. (Oneness, man-to-manness, love) Jen is an all-encompassing love for not only every other person but also of oneself. Translating the Chinese character Jen leaves us with the symbol for 'human being' and for 'two'. This translates loosely to loving others as you would love yourself, and in the West it could be best described as Confucius' golden rule. However Confucianism states the Golden Rule in the negative - "Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you".
A diminutive form of the name Jennifer.
