Norene
Norene Origin and Meaning
Norene is a feminine name with Germanic origins, typically considered a variation of Noreen or Norine. These names derive from the Irish Nóirín, a diminutive of Nora or Honora, meaning 'honor.' Norene peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s, reflecting the era's preference for names ending with the '-ene' sound. Though less common today, Norene carries a vintage charm that has potential for revival as part of the trend of rediscovering early 20th-century names. The name combines strength and softness, with its consonant beginning and flowing end, giving it a balanced quality that works well across different ages.
