Hi Geneva,

The following is translated from the entry in The "Dictionary of Arab
Names", by
Sultan Qabboos University's Encyclopedia of Arab Names.

Mazen: root (MZN)
Meaning: one who rush to request help.
They say "mzn min al-'adw" when you run away from the enemy. "al-mazin" is one
with bright face.

Hope that helps,

Yaser
