Charlene
Meaning of Charlene
The name Charlene is a charming and timeless choice for a baby girl. Pronounced shahr-LEEN, it has its roots in French origin, where it is derived from the name Charles, meaning "free man." Over the years, Charlene has seen various spellings and adaptations such as Charleen and Charline. The name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, reaching its peak in the 1950s. Although its usage has declined since then, Charlene remains a classic name with a sophisticated flair. It evokes associations with elegance and grace, perhaps partly inspired by notable figures like Princess Charlene of Monaco. Whether you are drawn to its melodic sound or its rich historical background, Charlene is a beautiful choice that stands the test of time.
