In Jewish culture, the name Chen carries special significance. It expresses the idea of 'abundance of influence' - a person's ability to positively affect their surroundings, to arouse affection and sympathy. In Kabbalah, chen is connected to the sefirah of Chesed (loving-kindness) and to the concept of divine grace that is revealed in the world.
