Clareen, of Irish origin, is derived from the word 'clár', meaning 'board' or 'table'. It gained popularity as a feminine given name during the mid-20th century. Clareen is often associated with individuals born in Ireland and Irish communities abroad.
The name Clareen appears to have been popular among parents for their daughters during the 1930s and 1940s, with a total of 55 girls named Clareen born over those two decades. The years with the highest number of Clareen births were 1947, with 9 babies, followed by 1930 to 1934, each having 6 births. There is no data for the years between 1932 and 1939, which might suggest a decline in popularity during that period before it picked up again after World War II.
