feminine · English (Rare) origin
Coreen is an English feminine name that likely arose as an elaborated or variant form of Cora, itself derived from the Greek Kore, meaning maiden or girl, a name associated with the goddess Persephone in classical mythology. The suffix -een, common in Irish and Scottish diminutive formations, lends the name a softer, more lyrical quality, though the name is used broadly in English-speaking contexts rather than exclusively in Celtic ones. Coreen remains rare and is closely related to the variants Corinne, Corinna, and Cora.
