Coraleen is of Irish origin, derived from the Irish word 'corra leann' which means 'little dark-haired one'. This unique and melodic name adds a touch of Celtic charm to its bearer. It gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name.
"Coraleen saw a resurgence in popularity from 1955 to 2008, with ten babies given the name during that time."
