Koreen

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.

Pronounced kuh-REEN.

As of October 2026, Koreen ranked #18735 in US births in 2006 SSA, peaked at #2403 in 1960.
