- Allene
Description:
Allene is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive as a variation of Aileen or Eileen (from the Gaelic 'Eibhlín,' meaning 'bright, shining one'), or it could be a feminized form of Allen/Allan (of Celtic origin meaning 'handsome' or 'cheerful'). The name saw modest popularity in the United States in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s and 1920s, but has since become quite uncommon. Allene has an elegant, vintage quality with its soft sounds and classical feel. The distinctive spelling with double 'l' and ending 'e' gives it a refined appearance. The name carries connotations of brightness and beauty while remaining understated and sophisticated.
