Scottish past participle of 'gie,' meaning given.
From Scottish English 'gie' (give) with '-en' past participle ending, an older English form preserved in Scots dialects.
The '-en' ending for past participles (like 'given') appears in modern English, but Scottish keeps it even more strictly—'gien' reminds us that English used to mark past tenses very differently.
