Morene is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1910 but has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. Its peak usage occurred in 1920, when it was given to a small number of newborns, and it has remained uncommon ever since. The trajectory of the name has been stable, with minimal fluctuation over the decades. By 2025, there were zero recorded births for Morene, making it a true rarity. The name's origin is uncertain, but it is likely a variant of Maureen or Morine, reflecting a trend toward creative spelling in the early 20th century.
