Coreen

Coreen is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be an Anglicized form of the Irish name Caitlín (meaning 'pure'), a variation of Corinne (derived from Greek 'kore' meaning 'maiden'), or a variant of Cora (meaning 'maiden' or 'daughter'). Most prevalent in English-speaking countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and parts of the British Isles, Coreen enjoyed its peak popularity in the mid-20th century. The name has a gentle, melodic quality that feels both vintage and timeless. While less common among contemporary newborns, it maintains appeal for parents seeking a name with classic resonance but not overused. Coreen carries an air of quiet dignity and grace with its soft sounds and flowing rhythm.

Pronounced kor-EEN.
