About Maureen
Almost as popular in the 1950s among the Irish in Boston as it was with those back in Bray, Maureen was once among the most prominent Irish names for girls in the US but has fallen from favor along with most of her een-ending sisters such as Eileen and Colleen.
Only 27 baby girls were named Maureen in the US last year, with a little over 100 named Maura.
Maureen is also given to boys.
Pronounced mor-EEN.
As of October 2026, Maureen ranked #4424 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #88 in 1948.
