Meaning of Solene

Pronounced in French as soh-LEHN (/səˈlɛn/), Solene is a feminine name of French origin rooted in the Latin sollemnis, meaning “solemn” or “ceremonial.” Historically tied to liturgical observances and tradition in Francophone regions, the name carries a tone of classical dignity. In the United States, Solene first appeared in Social Security records around 2000 with seven births at rank 893, then hovered in the high 900s during the early 2010s. Since then, it has steadily gained traction, reaching 116 U.S. births and rank 834 in 2024, underscoring its growing appeal to parents drawn to a name that blends European cultural heritage with enduring resonance.
