Dalene
Meaning of Dalene
Dalene is a feminine given name of English origin, conventionally regarded as a variant of Darlene or as a compound of the Old English element dal, meaning “valley,” plus the suffix –ene, and is uniformly pronounced /dəˈliːn/ in both British and American English. It first appears in United States Social Security Administration records in the early 1920s and attains its greatest relative frequency in the mid-1930s—ranking in the mid-500s—before undergoing a steady decline through the latter half of the twentieth century and registering only single-digit annual occurrences by the early 2000s. Characterized by its balanced phonological structure and subtle pastoral connotation, Dalene exemplifies an understated elegance within Anglo-American naming conventions and offers a quietly distinguished alternative to more prevalent counterparts.
