Trivia
- Dean is the last new character introduced in the show.
- Dean is the only confirmed member of the Winchester Family who is still alive, although this is not fully confirmed since the fate of Adam Milligan at the time of Sam's death is unknown.
- He was the last person born into the Winchester family; before him, his cousin Emma had the role.
- Although unlike Emma, he survived the episode he debuted in.
- Dean was named after his paternal uncle, Dean Winchester. However, they never met each other.
- Dean is a masculine name of English origin. The meaning of the name is "leader" or "valley."
- Due to the anti-possession tattoo on Dean's arm, it is implied that Sam either taught him how to hunt or at least made sure that he was informed so that he could be prepared against any potential supernatural dangers.
- It is noteworthy that Dean got the tattoo in the same place where his uncle and namesake once had the Mark of Cain.
- The identity of Dean's other parent remains a mystery. While some fans speculate that it could be Eileen Leahy, due to her brown hair and her being the last known on-screen romantic interest of Sam, Jared Padalecki has stated, "I think it was very, very purposely ambiguous and strangely I agreed with that," he added. "I feel like a lot of what Sam did after Dean died was almost in honor of what Dean would have wanted, and Dean would not have wanted his little brother to marry Eileen, Ruby, someone in the life.[1]
