Pearlean is a feminine name derived from the English word 'pearl,' ultimately from the Latin 'perna' (sea mussel). It combines the gem name Pearl with the feminine suffix '-ean,' creating a more elaborate form. The name first appeared in American naming records in the early 20th century, with most documented usage occurring between the 1920s and 1950s. Pearlean follows a pattern common in this era where natural element names were extended with suffixes. The name Pearl itself was quite popular during the late Victorian era and early 20th century, reflecting the period's appreciation for gem and virtue names. Pearlean has become increasingly rare in recent decades as naming trends have shifted away from such elaborated forms. The name carries associations of preciousness and luminosity inherent in its gemstone root.
