Dren

Dren is a proper noun that can refer to different things in culture and language. In English-language contexts, it does not have a single, widely recognized meaning, but appears as a personal name and as the name of characters in fiction.

In popular culture, Dren is the name of a hybrid organism in the 2009 science fiction horror film Splice. Created by two genetic engineers, Dren is a hybrid formed from human and animal DNA. The character is depicted as highly intelligent and capable of rapid physical and behavioral development, raising questions about biotechnology, ethics, and control.

As a given name, Dren is used in Albanian-speaking communities, typically as a male given name. The name appears in various public figures and athletes from the region and among diaspora communities.

Outside these contexts, the term tends to be rare in English usage and does not denote a widely recognized concept or entity.
