Careen Meaning and Origin

The name Careen is a girl’s invented name. A modern name that first appeared in the novel Gone with the Wind, where it is borne by the sister of Scarlett O’Hara. Alternatively, it is a variant of the name “Karen,” which is derived from the Greek name “Aikaterine.” The exact meaning of “Careen” is not significantly different from “Karen” and is generally interpreted as “pure” or “clean.” The name “Careen” has English roots and has evolved as a variation of “Karen.” The name “Karen” became popular in English-speaking countries during the 19th and 20th centuries and has since seen different variants, including “Careen.” “Careen” is a pleasant and relatively unique name choice for a girl. As a variant of “Karen,” it carries the same classic charm but with a slightly distinct twist.
