Dean is a male given name, sometimes used as a middle name.
A name originated from the Greek word "δεκανός" ("dekanos"), which means "monk or dignitary in charge of (10) others", and Latin word "decanum", which means "chief of a group of (10)".
The name "Dean" also means "valley" in the Old English language, and "law" in Hebrew.
