Noreene is of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic 'Nora,' meaning 'light' or 'honor.' It is a unique and uncommon name, often found among families with Irish heritage. The name Noreene has been used primarily in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century.
The name Noreene experienced a peak in popularity between the years 1930 and 1933, with a high of 10 births in 1932. However, it seems to have lost favor over time, as the number of births steadily declined from the late 1940s onwards, averaging around 5 per year since 1947.
