Meaning & origin
Clorene is a rare American coinage from the early 20th century, first recorded in 1914. It reached its peak popularity in 1919, but never entered the top 1000 names. The name likely emerged as a creative blend of Clara and Irene, two names that were stylish at the time. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1920s, with very few births in recent decades. No states show particular concentration of Clorene births. This name carries a vintage, turn-of-the-century charm but remains extremely uncommon today.
Clorene appears to be a 20th-century American coinage, possibly formed by blending elements of popular names of the era such as Clara and Irene, or as a variant of Clorinda. The name was first recorded in 1914 and saw modest use in the United States during the early 1900s, peaking in 1919. It has since become rare.
