Meaning & origin
Mayrene is a rare feminine name that emerged in the United States around 1920, with its peak year in 1930. It never attained widespread popularity and does not appear on any top 1000 list. The name appears to be a modern coinage, combining the name May with the suffix -rene, a pattern seen in other names like Dorene and Irene. Its trajectory has been stable, with only occasional use in subsequent decades. Because it was never common, there is no clear cultural or linguistic origin beyond this likely construction. Mayrene remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with a vintage feel but without a well-documented history.
