The name "Jeune" is of French origin and means "young." It is a masculine given name that has been used in France for centuries. The name Jeune comes from the French word "jeune," which means young. It was often given to children who were born around New Year's Day, as it was customary to give babies names that reflected their birthdate or the time of year they were born.
