All around the world, Koen (Koen 
, 科恩 
, Кун 
, among others...) is a common primarily boy's, but scarcely feminine first name. The forename Koen is habitual in Belgium, where it is quite a common boy's name, Netherlands, and Slovakia, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Belgium, Netherlands, and Indonesia. Very seldom, Koen is the last name as well as the forename.
