Arleen Origin and Meaning

The name Arleen is a girl's name.

Arleen is a feminine name of Irish origin, typically considered a variant of Arlene. Derived from the Gaelic elements meaning 'pledge' or 'oath,' it carries connotations of loyalty and commitment. The name gained popularity in the United States during the 1930s-1950s, reaching its peak in the mid-20th century. Arleen has a gentle, vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking names with both history and a touch of nostalgia. While less common among today's babies, it maintains recognition without being overused. The double 'e' spelling variation gives this classic name a slight distinction from the more standard Arlene.
