Koreen
Koreen Origin and Meaning
Koreen is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Corinne or Coreen, names ultimately derived from the ancient Greek name Korinna, meaning 'maiden.' This modern spelling variation gained modest popularity in North America during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, when alternative spellings became fashionable. The distinctive 'K' beginning gives the name a slightly more contemporary feel while maintaining the melodic quality of its traditional forms. Koreen offers a balance between familiarity and uniqueness—recognizable in sound but less common in spelling. The name has never been extremely popular but maintains a steady presence, appealing to parents seeking names with classical roots and a subtle modern twist.
