Danish patronymic, 'son of Jens' (Danish form of John)

Jensen is Denmark's equivalent of Johnson, a patronymic meaning son of Jens, itself a Danish form of John. It remains one of the most common surnames in Scandinavia, so a Copenhagen phonebook reads like a Jensen anthem. As a first name it is a recent American arrival, riding the long wave of -en boy names. Supernatural star Jensen Ackles helped fans of the show discover it as a given name. Two tidy syllables, a little Nordic, a little prep-school. It currently sits just inside the top 400. Jensen feels sleek and well-tailored, ready to meet the weather.
