The suffix '-sen' is a patronymic indicating 'son of', but in contemporary usage, especially in Australia, it is more often adapted for aesthetic or familial reasons for girls' names. While not historically documented in ancient texts, the components draw from Nordic naming conventions adopted into various English contexts.
