Meaning & origin
Modean is a rare American name first recorded in 1912. It reached its peak popularity in 1926, but its usage has always been very low. The name has never entered the top 1000 rankings and remains an uncommon choice. It was most often given in the 1920s, a decade of creative name formations in the United States. Modean is not associated with any top states, reflecting its scattered, infrequent use. Its stable trajectory suggests it has remained a niche name rather than experiencing a revival.
Modean is a 20th-century American coinage, first recorded in 1912. It may have been formed by blending the names Mo or Mae with Dean, or as a feminine elaboration of the surname Dean. Its usage peaked in 1926 and has remained stable but rare since then.
