The name is English.Keep in mind that this is just general information about the origin of a name.

Some names don't have meanings and are just words people made up.

So your name is just English, but it looks like it's a form of a Hebrew name that means "Of Magdala"

I wasn't sure if you meant first name or last name, so here's both

Marlen as a girl's name is a variation of Marlene. Marlene is a contracted form of Maria Magdalene which means "the beloved one of Magdala."

Marlen as a boy's name is an English variation of Marlon which means "little warrior."

Marlen as a last name is likely a variation of Merlin. Ancestry.com has this info:

Merlin

1. English, French, and Spanish (Merlín): from the Old French personal name Merlin, Latin Merlinus was derived from the Welsh personal name Myrddin. Merlinus was a Latinized form of Myrddin devised by Geoffrey of Monmouth and popularized in the Arthurian romances.
2. Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): metronymic from the Yiddish female personal name Merle, a pet form of Miryam (see Mirkin).

It's Russian. It was created by Communist parents who were eager to reject traditional names. It's a mix of Marx, and Lenin, both of whom had very influential roles in Russia's history.

It looks to me as if it could be a feminine variation of Marlon.
Try checking on that.

This is just one of several different spellings of the name:
MERLIN;
1. English, French, and Spanish (Merlin): from the Old French personal name Merlin, Latin Merlinus was derived from the Welsh personal name Myrddin. Merlinus was a Latinized form of Myrddin devised by Geoffrey of Monmouth and popularized in the Arthurian romances.
2. Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): metronymic from the Yiddish female personal name Merle, a pet form of Miryam (see Mirkin).

As a first name:
MERLIN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Welsh Mythology, English
Pronounced: MUR-lin

Form of the Welsh name Myrddin (meaning "sea fortress") used by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his 12th-century Arthurian tales. He likely chose the form Merlinus over Merdinus in order to prevent associations with French merde "excrement". In the earliest legends Myrddin is a prophetic madman who lives in the Caledonian Forest, but in later tales Merlin is a wizard, the sorcerer and counselor for King Arthur.

MARLEN (as first name)
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Russian
Other Scripts: Russian
Blend of MARx and LENin. This name was created by Communist parents who were eager to reject traditional names

Merlin (as first name)
Usual English form of the Welsh name Myrddin. The name is most famous as that of the legendary magician who guides the destiny of King Arthur. It seems to have originally been composed of Old Celtic elements meaning “sea” and “hill, fort”, but it has been distorted by mediation through Old French sources, which associated the second element with the diminutive suffix -lin. Variant: Merlyn (occasionally given to girls, as if containing the productive suffix of female names -lyn).
